Best movie of the year.
Off the top of my head I go
1.NCFOM
2.Zodiac
3.Gone Baby Gone
4.Michael Clayton
5. Bourne Ultimatum
Never read the book...vaguely knew what it was about from the trailer.
Brolin and Bardem give [censored] amazing performances. Bardem villain is up there will Hans Gruber, Hannibal, etc.
The directing, locations, set design, cine..everything is just flat out perfect. Tommy Lee Jones is solid playing his typical role.
Very violent obv., the fight scenes and shootouts are so damn intense its sick. Even Bardem having a conversation with a gas attendant makes yr heart pound.
There is very little exterior music added to the film...everythig you hear is sound coming from within the scene itself...kind of like Dead Calm.
Lots of humor too...I was surprised how often people were laughing at jokes etc.
One of the Coen Brothers best.
Go see it.
