Timing is everything...

...in movies as well.

To me it made dramatic sense to show how methodical (and in no rush) the "enigma" Chigur was. To see Chigur's eyes when he's doing the deed (absorbing the victim's spirit?) allowed me insight into what drove him (it).

I was not as impressed upon my first viewing, but after my second the film's art started to dawn on me, and it held up as well.

I also learned that the art of filmic storytelling sometimes allows the editor/director to "cheat" by switching realities/perspective without notice - as was done at the bolt-hole reflection scene near the end. Once explained here by others, this artistic license and any departure from the film's straight ahead gritty tone made sense.

Satisfied viewer.
