Tonight I watched No Country For Old Men, which is directed by the Coen Brothers. This is honestly one of the most stupid, boring and pointless films I've ever seen. That image literally describes how I felt at the end of the film. This a typical pretentious art house film that claims to have some sort of philosophical message. It even won best pictures at the oscars. Absolute madness. There are so many things wrong with the film. First of all, the protagonist dies off screen in the most underwhelming way possible. Secondly, the character development was so so bad. I didn't feel or understand any of the characters motives. I thought Josh Brolin's character was just a horrible person that treated his wife like garbage. The only thing that was good about this film was the antagonist who is played by Javier Bardem. He is really really scary. A scary antagonist is essential to make a good thriller. You need strong characters that you relate with, which this film didn't have. Also the film had some pretty tense scenes, because the antagonist was genuinely scary. Why was Tommy Lee Jones in this movie!? He literally served no purpose to the plot. I have deeply lost faith in the Coen brothers, but their next movie does look pretty solid. Film Rating - 4/10
