Nothing in life is perfect. But god damn they came close on this. This is as close to perfect a movie gets. The pace is slow, but its absolutely the right speed. You have just a hall of fame world class performance from Javier Bardem. I cannot emphasize this enough. He is Michael Jordan game 6 with the flu in this movie. You have the Cohen brothers who are obviously top of the line when it comes to movie making. Josh Brolin, Tommy Lee Jones and a small but great Woody Harrelson appearance. The dialogue in this movie is everything. It is like every word was just fucking hand crafted from some writer god. There is literally zero dead time in this movie. Which is crazy because its a slow movie. But the story is an all time story. Essentially Josh Brolin stumbles upon a drug deal gone bad and comes across a lot of money that he takes and it is not his. It is Javier Bardem’s. And the rest of the movie is a game of a cat a mouse of Javier Bardem being the greatest psycho path maybe in movie history to get that money. Did I mention Javier Bardem is amazing in this movie? Its a top 5 acting performance ever. You get all the feels in this movie. Amazing visuals of the country side mountains of Arizona and Texas. Did I mention Javier ok Ill shut up about it but fuck. A simple guy with no money comes across an insane amount of money that isn’t his and sends him on the chase of all time. He doesn’t know who he is fucking with, but also has incredible grit. The dialogue, the scenery, the chase, the way this movie was produced and the acting make this movie god damn good. It is an absolute OUTSTANDING MASTERPIECE. Stop your responsibilities immediately and go watch this. And….. That is review.
