No country for old men

Beautifully (seriously, INCREDIBLY) shot, powerfully acted, script was... decent. But anyway, let's get to the point. As some of you may know, I have a problem with theaters. Well, not so much theaters but crowds. Large groups of people freak me right the f**k out. So, I usually rent movies if I see them at all. I had been dying to see No Country For Old Men and I was not disappointed. It was everything I thought it would be. However, after watching it I turned the DVD cover around and read the review on the back. The last sentence includes this: "right up until it's heart-stopping final moment".

Really?


Spoiler ahead!!!


Tommy Lee Jones and the lady with the beautiful eyes that played his wife having breakfast together and talking about what he will do in his retirement is NOT HEART-STOPPING!!!!! It's not even heart-racing. If anything, my pulse slowed. It could have been billed as a sedative after the rest of the movie. A better adjective? Disappointing. Sleep-inducing. Hyper-realistic.

Meh.
