Has anyone seen No Country for Old Men?
I loved the book but won't likely get to see the film in the theater.


Thoughts? Reviews?

1. I haven't yet, but as far as I'm concerned, the Coen Brothers can do no wrong. n/t

2. I know of a DUer who just saw it with her husband.
We were talking about it yesterday. They hated it, and she strongly recommended that I not see it.

It was apparently very dark, confusing, depressing, and violent without actually being the least bit entertaining along the way.

4. That sounds a lot like the book
Except the part about not being entertaining!

McCarthy is a bit of an acquired taste--I'm very interested to see what the Coens do with it.

Thanks for the response!
