Horrifying and scary....another Coen Bros classic. Javier Bardem is the ultimate villain!

The ultimate Sun Belt thriller, i.e., the only Sun Belt thriller that ever won an Oscar for Best Picture, it opens with a transcendent montage of Southwest vistas, and sustains its feel for the heat and grit of its setting as its…

Disturbing, dark, unsparing and very unsettling. Very much the Coen "Fargo" stamp on the murder and unrelenting mayhem that ensues. Javier Bardem is a villain like no other. A reviewer likened him to "Arnold's relentless Terminator, Yul…

This flick consists of little more than an interminable series of chase scenes punctuated by ultra-violence. There's next to no plot, no character development (not even any character revelation), and no apparent point to this extremely…

good actors, good technique, good acting. all gone to waste. and except that they got paid, but to what purpose? it's like football; violent, pointless, and a waste of a lot of money and injury along the way. america should be ashamed it…

A perfectly executed adaptation.

A brutal tale of greed, the reach of the law, the randomness of survival, the rewards of living a ‘good’ life and the lack of guarantees in life. Brilliant writing and acting. Extremely violent.

One of the greatest movies of all time! The villain (Javier Bardem as Chigurh) is possibly the greatest acting performance ever!

Although I get tired of the drug smuggler topic the acting here is just great and worth watching.

This is a very good movie that we both highly recommend. Don't get confused by a few of the lower ratings, just understand there are a small number of people that do not like the action and may want to stick to silly chick flicks films. …

Stellar movie. I enjoyed it from start to finish.

Well cast, acted, and shot. Javier Bardem is a villain for the ages. Cold and creepy, his performance equals and perhaps surpasses the classic suspense film chase villains: Arnold's relentless Terminator, Yul Brynner's Gunslinger, Rutger…

This is all around a five star movie. It is a gritty and violent crime drama. Excellently told story. The characters are very well defined. The settings and details recreate perfectly the period of the film, which is pre cell phones 1980.…

A typical Coen Brothers' film with gory scenes throughout. The cover says that this gritty game of cat and mouse will take you to the edge of your seat and beyond right up to its heart-stopping final moment, which turns out a false alarm!…

Tommy Lee Jones is good in this film, but not the best fit for the Ed Tom Bell character. More screen time for Woody Harrelson's character, Carson Wells, would have made this film even more interesting.

A True Cinematic treasure. Critics are parasites.

2007 movie. Given the actors, was more violent than expected. But cohesive.

Fantastic movie. A social commentary on the societies changing and the classic western's demise. So glad the library had it via Hoopla!

The best Coen film, and one of the best films, period. Avoid the book. And see another great Tommy Lee Jones film set in Texas: 3 Burials of Melquiades Estrada.

Went into this blind.....just saw the trailer and ordered it and by the time it came I wasn't sure what I was in for.....stuck it in and got a big surprise!....I have to say that I loved it and didn't want it to end....so kept pausing it…

Usually a big fan of the Coen brothers, I cannot understand the fascination with this movie. Much lauded in the industry, the violence is so graphic it made me feel ill. Some would say, well then, that's the point. No, just pointless…

I disliked this movie very much. I don't quite understand what all the rave reviews were about. I do not think there was anything special about the acting, directing, etc etc. For the life of me I am totally baffled by all the positive…

Unless you try to interpret hidden implications in each scene, the overall effect is lame. The main character makes a series of bad decisions that leads to a result that is anticlimactic, with an antagonist that is unrealistically…
