In Reply to: Not so impressed and it has nothing to do with being a "cognitive viewer". posted by Audiophilander on December 17, 2007 at 00:33:16:
I, for one, think if this didn't have the cats that made 'Fargo' or 'Barton Fink' or 'Miller's Crossing' listed on the 'Directed By' title card, it wouldn't have been nearly as well-received.
If any one of those ended like this did, they'd start to attain (de-attain?) M. Night Shyamalan-like status.
There's something that just doesn't work about art (endings being a part of the 'big picture') that ends up calling attention to itself, despite itself.
That being said, I thought, there were plenty of redeeming qualities found within the phhotography and performances to keep one's attention. Roger Deakins seems to do his best work with these guys and Bardem's 'Anton Chigurh' has got to be one of the scariest on-screen villains in a long time.
