I'll be writing a review. Please wait to read it before you waste money going to see No Country For Old Men.
If you do go and see it, the good guy dies, the bad guy doesn't and nothing else happens. It's a collection of fairly good scenes stuck together. A MIRAMAX movie. MIRAMAX is owned by DISNEY and gets ONE in THREE Oscar dominations. Film lobbying is a real problem and this movie has proved just how bad it is.
One particularly annoying scene is when the good guy tries to get back into the USA from the Mexican border. The border guard gives him a hard time but when they start talking about serving in Vietnam the political message of border controls and patriotism is evident beyond belief. The only things missing is a strategically placed bottle of Bud and the Stars and Stripes.
The movie leaves you totally numb. You don't care who lives, who dies, who wins and who loses. Then the film ends and when you come to your senses you realise you lost 2 hours of your life and £8.00 and that doesn't include popcorn...POPCON more like (another time)
The Winner is ultimately MIRAMAX. I don't think I'll bother with the review. 'I did not care for this movie. It insists upon itself' as Peter Griffin would say.
In the meantime I suggest you see a french film that should have won more that just 'Best Actress'. ' La Vie En Rose' is a seriously good movie.
