"No Country for Old men"

It was one movie i desperately wanted to see after seeing an imdb User Rating: 8.6/10 (70,503 votes) Top 250: #39 (as of 02nd march 2008). But after watching the movie i felt its a bit too overrated. The performances are great, direction good but the the story is very ordinary indeed. The following words from one of the imdb user reviews on the movie sums up everything :


But I honestly did not understand this film. Im not saying its horrible but I will say I don't think it deserves the ratings it is getting. I personally rated it a 1 because I feel compelled to balance out the absurd over ratings it is getting.

What I saw was two men fighting over the same two million dollars. One who is somewhat good and obviously poor and the other who is this maniac psycho killer. Im not even sure its his money, how he knows about it or why he even wants it. None of that was clarified.


May be i'll give this movie another shot. Let me try watch it again (the last time i did, it was immediately after watching another movie. may be that made me a bit too tired in understanding the complexities of this movie). or may be its signs that i'm getting old, and its truly 'not a movie for old men' ;)

just watched no country for old men, it's unassumingly unconventional yet (thankfully) never over-the-top. the Coen bros. deserve their Oscars; well done indeed.
