Awesome movie. Sticks very close to the book (which didn't win a Pulitzer, fwiw). Almost all of the dialogue is straight from the book. I found that I enjoyed the book and movie about equally, but there were some parts I liked better in the book and vice versa.

Bardem was sensational, of course, and I'm a big Tommy Lee Jones fan. I don't usually like Josh Brolin, but he was great too. I also really enjoyed Garret Dillahunt in a small role as Jones's deputy.

It was weird watching a Coen brothers movie without the usual Coen cast of characters, though (save Stephen Root). Maybe we could've had Billy Bob instead of Woody, or at least Jon Polito playing the Tommy Lee role...
