Thanksgiving weekend movie going was redeemed to a large degree (even more Sunday night with the first 3 episodes of HBO's Rome, though not enough to erase the void that is Margot at the Wedding) with the Coen brothers' No Country for Old Men. I enjoyed every minute of it right up until I couldn't believe it was over. Truth is, I got distracted a bit and didn't realize I was only sort of paying attention to the crucial wrap up. I suppose I was in the mood for a clean finish after Thursday's travesty of a movie, but as the subtitle says "There are no clean getaways." And of course that's not what the Coen brothers do. And they (don't) do it very well. Incredibly well done movie I imagine will win lots of awards, and one I'd like to see again on DVD. I'd watch again just to see Anton Shagur do his creepy thing.

The ending, or lack there of, ruined this "interesting" flick for me. My review, in a word...unfulfilling. I suggest waiting for the DVD.
