Normally this would be the type of movie I'd like. Dark story lines and twisted humor are definitely my thing. I was actually excited for this movie. I'll say it was well directed, and the actors did a great job of portraying the characters the way they should have. In most technical aspects it was a well done film. That doesn't detract from the fact that it was just fucking stupid. Incredibly fucking stupid. The only scene in the movie I can remember that I actually found interesting was Anton's conversation with the old clerk in the gas station. The Coens did an amazing job directing the movie, but the story was just, meh. Maybe their adaptation for the screenplay took something away from the book, I dunno. Fact is, I found the story was bland, the events which took place were bland, and even the outcome of the movie was pretty bland. Just because you saw something different, does not mean you saw something good. Most good strange movies leave you deeply pondering some point, or asking a lot of questions. Not this one. The plot wasn't all that original, didn't really pack much substance to it. All there was to know is that some hillbilly found and wanted to keep a bunch of money, and there's a crazy sociopathic killer trying to kill him and take it back and killing everyone in his path. He kills him, kills the wife because he said he would. WOW, DEEP. The only question left out there was, who exactly is this guy supposed to be? and what's got him so hellbent crazy? No real tips or subtle insights to leave you asking real questions. Those two about sum it up.

The majority of the people who flocked to this movie are no better than those who flocked to your so called "McMovies". Most of the people talking it up know nothing more than this crazy guy with a strange pneumatic weapon was killing people, and lots of them without remorse. THAT'S LIKE SO WAY COOL! WE'RE SUCH INCREDIBLE FILM CONNOISSEURS FOR LOVING THIS WAY AWESOME WEIRD MOVIE! DIDN'T YOU HEAR ? SOME LIKE SUPER AWESOME DIRECTORS WHOSE NAME I DON'T REMEMBER DID IT, IT'S GOT TO BE GOOD!

Don't get me wrong, I really like the Coen brother's work, I just don't like this particular movie. I think they should stick to what they do best, this suit doesn't fit them so well in my opinion. I'm feeling like pulling out my Hudsucker Proxy VHS just to replenish my faith...

I wrote way too much when i could have just said one more time. The movie was stupid...
