The way the aftermath of the shootout happens at the end was a big issue. The way the sheriff resolves things vs how it happened in the book. Also the scene with Chigur finding Luann in the motel and the chase that follows. There were variations from the book that I just found less enjoyable.The book had points: some things in the universe are relentless, some things change for the worse, and sometimes there is nothing you can do about either. Some things are the way they are, a la Traffic, Syriana, etc. The flim version was off to me and just wasn't what it could have been.
Yeah and I definitely picked up on those references of the human condition and how it's affected by environment. I suppose, ultimately the problem I had was the movie focused to much on the antagonist. Although, maybe that was their intention...,to express desparity.
