When I went and saw it there was a couple sitting behind me (about my age) who obviously had no clue as to what the movie was about or who had made it. About half way through (well, when Chigurh blows the guys hand off) the couple had what sounded like a panic attack and had to leave. Good times.

Honestly, Bardem did an amazing job. So what if he looks a little goofy; when you see the movie you'll find him creepy and intimidating as hell.

I have read that the film bagged a lot of nominations in the upcoming 2008 Academy Awards.

🍺 Seen this yesterday,The movie is extremely overrated,I found it just moved too slow,and The ending tried to be smart,but failed.The characters were all excellent and there were some great scenes in the movie,but this is nowhere near the ''Masterpiece'' some people claim it is. 7.5/10

It is every bit the masterpiece people claim it to be. One of the most suspenseful and best "edge of your seat" thrillers ever made. Superb acting from everyone involved and a very menacing performance from Javier Bardem. He portrays one of the greatest villains in all of cinema here.

😬 I didn't really find it ''edge of your seat'' at all,except for a couple of scenes here and there,Like I said the movie moved too slow to really be ''Edge of your seat'' stuff.I agree that Javier Bardem played a great villain but one of the greatest villains of all cinema? Well,Lets just say thats a big statement 😬 Yes,you are right that the acting was superb,and it really was a good,solid movie.....but it is no masterpiece 🙂

Agreed. My main beef was that we never saw Brolin die.

So we just gonna act like he wasn't one of the greatest cinematic villains ever? Movie was great; not perfect. I think it's worthy of being called a modern day masterpiece.

Not sure if I'd call it a masterpiece, it was a very good film though and I do agree that Chigur is one of the greatest villains of all time though. But I have to agree with K. Diddy, I hardly found it to be an edge of your seat type of movie, it was very slow and it took me watching it a few times before I could really appreciate it.

😬 ''One of the greatest cinematic villains ever'' That is just too big of a statement as far as I'm concerned, I can easily probably think of 10 movie villains that are better in my opinion.That's just off the top of my head 😬 and No,I dont think it's worthy of being called a ''Masterpiece'' At all.
