This is one of if not the best movie of 2007. A lot of people say it's all about glorifying violence, but it's really not. You have to understand that most of the story revolves around Tommy Lee Jones' character and how he is constantly on the heels of the killer, and yet he can't catch him. By the end of the movie he's baffled by the changing times and how the world never used to be so horrific and violent. He's caught off guard by this and it ends up leading to his retirement. The movie isn't simply about the violence, but more about how society has changed from being consumed by the simple things of life but has now transformed into a society of violence and greed. If you go into the movie with this mindset you won't be disappointed. The movie makes one think. I myself needed to see it twice before fully understanding the magnitude of the story. Great acting, great plot, excellent directing.

The most outstanding movie since Fargo. The genuis minds of the Coen brothers to force and provoke intense thought in deciphering the events as they unfolded and stay the course of what really was happening is the clue into what happens when the story was wrapping up and in case the viewer misses it, throws in an ending that forces the viewer to go back and recall what they really saw happen....and in their true Coen deviated fashion, to keep the viewer sidetracked while staying clearly on track is the added appreciation in which they tell a story and the true genius in their direction. I wonder how many viewers didn't give up in trying to understand what REALLY happened in the end in this fabulously acted, well told story. THE ABSOLUTE BEST MOVIE I'VE SEEN!

Once I heard the Coen Bros were going to make this movie, I went out and bought the book. I must say that the brothers made a masterful adaptation. Anyone who comments that they didn't like the ending should write to the author and not the directors since they, in my opinion, made an extremely faithful adaptation to the book....and kudos to them for staying true to the author's vision! This is the first movie I have ever seen where there is no soundtrack, and amazingly, it worked very well. The movie's title applies to the sheriff, played by Tommy Lee Jones, and the viewer should contemplate what the title implies during his or hers viewing of the film. There are some great messages to be found in the film

The Coen brothers really pulled this movie off. I walked out almost speechless. Crazy and inspiring, Javier Bardem gave the best performance I have been waiting to see in a LONG time. I was surprised I havent heard much of this movie because it is phenomenal. Excellent cast, story, weapons, setting and pretty much everything else. A Must Go!

This was the most rediculous movie I have ever seen. I would go as far to say it was the worst movie and just pissed me off. It was so borring, had no plot, and I don't know how anyone could say it was "amazing". I think that the only reason people say that is because it got all these good reviews and they just pretend like the got the "amazing message" just so people think they are all smart and deep. The acting in this movie wasn't even anything special. I don't understand why it is considered good acting when all you do is say like 5 words and then just shoot people...seriously, this movie ruined my night and wasted my money. I used to always say that the worst movie ever made was "Clifford", you know..that movie where Martin Short acts like a little kid and it kinda makes you want to shoot yourself...however, I am now forced to change my mind and I would say that "Clifford" should have won an oscar over this over-rated media garbage.
