Well, as everyone else says, spectacular, so far. I don't get what the receiver is picking up, but suppose I will . What I LOVE about this movie is everyone is smart, smarter than me. This film is one big "What the hell is he doing?" "Oh, that's it, how clever!!!" Truly XLNT acting all around except for the bad guy Terminator Hitcher killer, who sometimes is a little flat, sounds like he is cold reading. Part II manana' but so far a solid A.

  to have the psycho be someone we don't know, it plays easier. Those plot twists!! The promise kept at the end.... WOW!!!!!!! What a script. When Llewellyn wakes up realizing how they found him.....

    And he's well known Stateside amongst folks who follow indpendent movies - Bardem was Oscar nominated for his performance in The Sea Inside.
    
    I agree it's a great script. It follows McCarthy's book pretty closely.
    
    And the hero is the sherriff :-)
- good point, I think the lack of human emotion has been done better - Duilawyer 07:33:27 01/11/08 (0)
  I hate to say it, Arnold, for one.

GREAT. Nothing short of great. Dialogue that you cannot possibly predict. Plot twists you can't see. The hero leaves the picture before the end of the picture. AND NO MUSIC!!! Lots of silence or ambient sounds.
