Ewen Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Fans of the Coen brothers will like this...I think its their best yet. Similar atmosphere of unexpected and inescapable fate as say, Blood Simple and Fargo. Setting is breathtaking, acting very good and the script is excellent...very witty and some great laconic observations from the leads. It has the best, most believable baddie I've seen for years...and a very cool take on weaponry. Some I know who have seen it called the ending crap...its not, although it may leave you wanting visual closure rather than just the mental puzzle it gives you based on the previous two hours or so.

RiceRocket Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Won the Oscar for Best Picture (and few others) and baddie will be legendary like Hannibal Lecter apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I watched this a while ago and thought it was very good. On another note I caught the last 40min of blood diamond last night, not bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Im a big Coen brothers fan, however this just dragged. Happened to glance at the dvd clock and the hour and a half it had been on felt like 3. The ending was non existant too. I liken it to babel, of you like Babel youre gonna love this. I agree the baddy put the shits up me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy W Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I thought it was a tad sh1te to be honest. A hitman who carries around a hydraulic canister? . The bad guy was great though. Really liked the bit in the shop with the coin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
