Somewhere in the desert, Llewelyn stumbles upon a horrible bloodbath. Checking out the scene, he finds both parts of the deal. A truck full of drugs and a bag full of money. While he thinks everyone is (about to be) dead, he takes the money, well knowing this could mark his own death. | ||||||||

Although this isn't a work of incredible depth, it is a work of great craftsmanship. Of course it's directed by the Coen brothers, so they have twice the manpower. But a daring atmosphere, great pace, beautiful scenery and a very crazy Javier Bardem, makes this one puppy not to leave in the kennel.
What's the most impressive is the tension. I think it will be a while before people can watch another movie with Bardem without having hesitation to trust him. A big winner for the Oscars? You just can't stop what's coming.. | ||||||||
