See it. See it as soon as you can. It's one hell of a movie by the Coen brothers... hardly any music the entire time, which makes it all the more unsettling. I thought it was really unpredictable too. And the main killer guy, Anton, is insanely cool.

I have only heard good things about this film. I have been a fan of the Coens since I first saw The Big Lubowski. Looking forward to this...

Read the Cormac McCarthy novel that it's based on, too. In fact, read anything of McCarthy's that you can get your hands on.

Saw it, and I really hate when the end movies like that.... I give a 7.5/10

I saw it and I fucking loved it, especially the end.

It still ain't no Miller's Crossing though.

Damned right, it's better than Miller's Crossing!

Glad ya loved the movie though... it really is one of the coolest flicks I've seen in a while. And I repeat - Anton is THE MAN.

Supposed to see it tomorrow. It looks really good but I'm not a huge fan of the coen bros.

Seconded....but then I watched the good, the bad, and the ugly for the first time and forgot about this one completely.

Saw this movie for the second time thursday and ill probably see it for a third. It's one of the best movies i've seen in years.

Just saw this last night. Awesome movie. Depressing that about 80% of the audience hated it. A few were asking for their money back.

Fucking peasants.

Asking for their money back?!

Did the audience happen to be huffing gas?

The Coen brothers just don't seem to make bad movies.

What about Intolerable Cruelty? As a viewer watching the movie, I thought the title lived up to its name.

I personally loved the hell outta this movie, but I can also see how people would absolutely despise it, just because it's so different.

at the same time I would've been pissed if this didn't get an oscar nod.

I live in an Uber blue collar mining town.

If I didn't have so much invested in the local art and creative community, not to mention fantastic friends, I would not be here.

Anyone see 'There Will Be Blood', yet?

I haven't seen this movie yet, but I haven't disliked anything by the Coen brothers I've seen so far, so maybe I'll check it out.

Javier Bardem fucking rocks. He's basically the whole reason to see this movie.

I agree. I don't want this one to be cheapened by making a sequel, but I loved that character.

Edit: Josh Brolin was pretty damn good too.

I'd go as far to say it ranks up there with Clarence Boddicker. Doesn't surpass Kurtwood Smith, but it's in the same area.

Robocop is on tv right now, actually. That's a villain I totally forgot about. Definitely a pretty fucking evil guy. That's something that's missing in a lot of movies lately. Truly evil villains that aren't at all gimmicky or conventional.

Criminals who are genuine assholes who, thanks to Hollywood's lust for the anti-hero, come off as likable. And when they die, you don't feel that bad, but you feel that they were taken down by some fluke instead of the power of the lead.

I'd back a sequel. Maybe if McCarthy wrote another book about him that would do it.
