Another Coen Bros classic. Josh Brolin is out hunting in Texas and finds a big satchel of mullah from a drug deal gone wrong. Javier Bardem is the psycho hit man who's hunting for Brolin & the loot. Tommy Lee Jones is the sherrif hunting for both Brolin & Bardem. Kelly MacDonald is the cute li'l number who is Brolin's wife.

Great acting, great story, lotta violence and the ending- well, not for everyone. Lotta ppl moaned & groaned over the ending which is NOT traditonal or something Hollywood likes to dish out. But given the story, it fits just right.

Tommy Lee Jones gets the best lines, and Javier Bardem gets to play an unforgettable villain. i liked the flick- different kind of ending and all

If ya see this flick, be prepared for the anti-Hollywood, expectation-defying ending. Some folks have been extremely unhappy with a thinkin' person's ending. Made my noggin' hurt but i enjoyed it much.

I thought the ending was very clever.

It was hinted at throughout the entire movie.

Both stories are true. His Dad is making a fire in the darkness, and waiting for him. Clearly this alludes to hell.

The novelty of an assassin using a captive bolt was interesting, although living or dying as a result of a coin toss has been done to death.

Most notably by Two Face in the Batman comics and films.

The captive bolt clearly shows how the hitman thinks about his victims as though they were just animals.

It should be noted that animals usually don't die from just the use of a captive bolt. You also need to use something like a pithing needle, to scramble their brains.

That being said, you would make a human brain stop functioning normally, even if the captive bolt didn't kill them.

I liked this film. The antagonist was interesting.
