A very good movie

At last, the Coen brothers finally did it. They finally got their deserved Oscar! And, yet, I have to admit that I actually ended up with some mixed feelings about this movie. The first issue with this movie was that there was such a hype when it came out and, to be honest, I was actually a slightly disappointed. I mean, sure, it was very good, no doubt it, but I’m not sure if it was really great. Eventually, I had to see the damned thing a 2^nd time to really make up my mind. Well, even though I did appreciate it more than the first time, I was still not completely blown away. I mean, the directing was really neat, the acting was off the charts, the story was pretty good but something was missing there to make it truly spellbinding and, personally, I still prefer 'There will be blood' which was released the very same year. Still, there was a great cast (Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Woody Harrelson, Kelly Macdonald), especially Brolin who, thanks to his performance in this movie, made an impressive comeback and is nowadays one of the most sought-after actors at work nowadays. To conclude, even though I wasn’t completely sold by the damned thing, it still is a very good movie and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in the Coen brothers work.
