If this is true, then I really, really need to see this movie.

If its better than The Big Lebowski, I better leave the theater pregnant due to its awesomeness.

You bet.

Saw this today; thought it was really good.

I was too caught off guard by the ending though!

Planning on seeing it tonight. Axel will have the final word on it.

I'm looking forward to seeing it, thank you.

Well, that was awesome. mmm

I just ordered the book, as well. I didn't know this was a Cormac McCarthy Novel. mmm

Not even close... The Big Lebowski is their best movie by far, nothing beats the dialogue and the characters of that film, nothing

This movie was good, they went back to their "Blood Simple" days, this is nothing like TBL, Raising Arizona or Oh Brother Where Art Thou.

Excellent film, with a great cast. One of the best movies i've seen at the theater in awhile. The chase scene down the river was great.

I'm really excited about seeing this movie.

I'm really excited, about you being really excited about seeing this movie. Isn't that exciting?

Honestly . . . . a little bit, yeah.

A very well made movie. The characters were all vivid and few are memorable.
The scenes of violence are quite intense. The tone of the violence and the movie itself surprised me. It is far more serious than any other of the brothers films. The only gripe i had with the movie was its ambiguous story. Although, im not very intelligent. I can usually absorb the direction of films. I left this film finding little to no point in the story. A few hours and a pot of coffee later. I believe i found the message the movie tried to convey. Even with the conclusion i came to. I still find little point to the movie. I truly believe the Brothers were going for an ending of impact, but most of the film was lost to the ambiguity of the ending.

I would still recommend this film. Nearly every aspect of the film is captivating.

I just watched the advertisement on television again, and the casting for Chigurh looks absolutely abysmal.

He was excellent. One of the more enjoyable characters ive seen in a film for some time

Really? I suppose I'll have to watch it and see, though he really doesn't look how I envisioned him when reading the book, fairly sure he doesn't look how he was described either.

he is a chilling character. probably one of the most vicious and heartless killers to come on the screen for a long time

great acting, great movie.

The ONLY thing about that movie that sucked was the "There will be blood" trailer. I got fired up about seeing it, and it's not playing anywhere around me.

He was banging as Chigurh as it goes. Looks like one of the Monkeys but that chilly presence from the book is in there. I've never been keen on the ending, I always feel unsatisfied, but they managed to keep it together well enough.
