I'm going to have to be one of the voices of dissent and say that I found this movie a little disappointing. Part of that may have been the hype (I thought I had overcome my absolute love for Fargo and had accepted that the Coen brothers would never make it's equal, but I will admit that the reviews for this one instilled in me a moment of hope), but the other part is that the first third of No Country For Old Men is pretty great. It just felt like there weren't enough new elements being introduced as the film went on. I guess I just didn't find Chigurh as fascinating as other people and the cat and mouse between him and Brolin's character didn't seem well thought out or well explained. How did Chigurh find Brolin at those two hotels (before coming in range of the transmitter)? I can imagine a movie effectively making use of a character's seemingly superhuman abilities to create terror in another, but the movie seemed to be relying too much on Chigurh's methods for it's entertainment to get away with being vague in this area. And then, you know, I thought there were deficiencies in other areas as well...
Just curious. What are people's opinion on something like A Simple Plan vs. No Country For Old Men?
