I didn’t understand the massive hype for this or There Will Be Blood - which was put around the same time.
Didn’t enjoy either

Usually love Cohen Bros films and stuff about the American west but I've tried several times to "GET INTO" this film but just can't.
Too bleak, too dark. Fully appreciate some people love all that though.

Not sure why this was such an issue.....

I couldn’t get past the fact that there was no way they could have put in a tracking device in the suitcase that would have lasted that long back when this was set.

The book is even bleaker than the film as the writing is so spare.
The Road is also a classic (another Cormac McCarthy adaptation) and is a real grind but, shockingly, has a happy ending of sorts.

The 2005 novel by Cormac McCarthy is superb reading.

Nobody would go back with that water would they? And if I ever find a bagful of cash I’m going through it with a fine tooth comb!

Fantastic film. Love every minute of it.
Not for those who need something pointless happening every 5 seconds. Stick to Marvel films.

Not every film has to have a ‘Happily Ever After’ ending.....

For what its worth
The ending is Tommy basically saying
"This is no country for old men"
What the fuck is complicated in that?

Can't deny the acting is superb and I can understand why people see it as a classic but I wasn't keen but I'm not a fan of the Cohen brothers particularly, so not my thing but as I say I can understand why many appreciate it.

Watche it ages ago after all the hype and just found it really boring. Much like a lot of Cohen brothers stuff, it’s stylistically great but otherwise I didn’t really enjoy it. Better than intolerable cruelty though *shudders*

Decent. Bardem is great in it.
Very dark. No nonsense.
Although I do feel it got lost up its own arse in the middle where I think they tried to be too clever with drawn out scenes which added little.

Great film. I love most of the Coen brothers' stuff.

The remake of that with DENZEL is also good.

I watched The taking of Pelham 123 yesterday, the original. What a great film. And Robert Shaw like Day-Lewis made films worth watching.
