It looks too violent for me. I can't really watch stuff like that anymore with all the crap I've seen in my life. Although I have to say it looks like it will go down as a classic. 
I have to believe it's better than then "The Departed" which I wasted 3 hours of my life on the other night My goodness was that weak.

The Departed was pretty epic to be honest. Leonardo was a bad motherfucker in it

I saw it over the holiday. The ending came up unexpected so I'll have to watch the last scene to make sense. The best movie I've seen all year.

I just saw it last night.
I thought it was a great movie until the ending.
Now I think it was only a so-so movie. That ending was absolute crap.
On a side note, The Departed was probably the best movie I saw last year.

The story was complete when Javier Bardem (hitman) gets in the car accident and walks away.
Ed Tom Bells (sheriff) description of his dream was a pretty moving and appropriate.
Not a typical hollywood ending.
The theater I saw it in was packed, one black guy was being pretty noisy the whole time and the second it was obvious the movie was over he yelled "NAWWWWWWWWWWWW!! AWWWWWW NAAAAAAAAAAWWWW!!!" and a bunch of people followed suit.
It was pretty funny.
Good movie.

No.
But it was a great film. I liked the ending though it did catch me a little off guard.
But if you consider the themes being conveyed, it was pretty appropriate.

I can definitely see how some (a lot) of people wouldn't like it because of the ending, but it didn't bother me so much.

The ending just takes you by surprise, it such an unusual ending that you're not prepared for it. I'll probably have to see it again to make full sense of it.
When walking in some people walking out were telling everyone it sucked... I hate people who do this, it's not as bad as ruining the ending but it's close.

I really enjoyed it. The Departed was pretty bad, IMHO (though not because of the actors in it). I was honestly hoping to see something like Fargo, which is one of my favorite movies, but No Country was still pretty good. It took some time for it to resonate with me. There were a couple of scenes that I found to be absolutely brilliant and Javier Bardem (sp?)was exceptional. Every scene that he was in was absolutely captivating. I loved the non-traditional, non-"Hollywood" ending. Wonderful character study. It's the sort of film that will hit you and stay with you for awhile, but I'm still not sure that it's everything that people say it is. And I honestly had trouble understanding the Texas accents. Accents suck. Except in Fargo. People from Minnesota are funny, you betcha

Does anyone know other movie he was in? I thought he was great but I don't recognize him at all. It would be nice to see some of his other work especially if his performances are equally as good.

I know, I know. I was pained that I wasn't enjoying it and in the end had to admit I didn't like it. I's rare that I want to see a movie (maybe 3 times a year if that) and I wanted to see that one. I just found it bland

Yeah, I he was in the movie Before Night Falls, with Johnny Depp. I also remember him in this movie, The Dancer Upstairs (I think that's what it was called, it was directed by John Malkovich). And I want to say that he was in one or two Almodovar films. And The Sea Inside, I think it was called. He was supposed to be really great in that, but I haven't seen it

I read the book a few months ago. It is very good. I reccomend picking it up- its a quick read.
I've only seen previews for the film, but it looks good. Takes place in a deserty place right? For some reason i always pictured it taking place in the mountains of alaska or something....
Anyways pick up the book, it made me want to become some psyco killer guy- i'm still nulling it over...
