IMDB

The Cohen Brothers deliver a movie that is equal to, and in the same vein as Fargo. This film is about a man who finds a bag of drug money and another man who is hunting him down to get that money.
What makes this movie so tense is the complete lack of music. I saw it in the theater and was on the edge of my seat (pardon the cliche) for much of the flick. Javier Bardem is creepy as the emotionless killer.
I really don't understand the end of the movie, so if somebody wants to explain it to me feel free. I definitely understand why this was the best picture in 2007, it truly is a masterpiece. I may not completely understand it, but I definitely appreciate it.

9.5/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
