Yes, yes, and yes!
The Coens have outdone themselves in producing another masterpiece, even better than Blood Simple and Fargo.
It kept me on the edge of my seat for the whole movie. Whenever Chigurh (Javier Bardem, The Sea Within) is on screen, you're watching a living, breathing menace. It is not for the squeamish. My arms were tingling, and I was gasping in amazement!
The Coens use no music; it's all in the action. Sometimes it's in the close-ups of the tiniest movements that pull you intimately close and horrify or shock you: their attention to detail and their pacing are extraordinary. They give you such visual detail that needs no dialogue, so the tension builds in the deafening silence.
Go with a friend so that you can discuss all the surprises, twists and turns, including the unique ending, afterward. It's seamless, and it'll really make you think.
This is the best thriller I've seen since Silence of the Lambs, maybe the best ever. Enjoy! :-D
Checking the film-time listings, yet? :)
It's worth twice that. Amazing film.
