...now that this is out in general release, I thought I would mention it again.
This is one of the best movies of the year and a real departure for the Coen Brothers - with little comic irony they play it mostly straight ahead.
Javier Bardem is scary and will most likely be nominated.
Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin put in excellent performances as well.
But the standouts to me were the shots of the bleak South Texas landscape and the people chosen for the small bit parts who exude the time - 1980 - and the place so well.
Highly recommended.
