Just saw an advance screening of this. I thought it was fantastic. Incredibly tense, and great characters, and realistic but at the same time unpredictable. Awesome writing and dialogue as can be expected from the Coens. I don't want to give away too much, but if you're a Coen Bros fan, this is an absolute must see.

There is no telling how much I am looking forward to this film. Seriously - in the next years, I have eyes only for this and The Dark Knight.

Yeah, looks really good. Can't wait for it.

i can't wait to see it.

Maybe I missed the point or went in with the wrong mindset, but either way I was not impressed with this film at all. I really did not find it intense or captivating at any point. I'm not a fan of "plot twists" or "action", but this film seemed to be completely lacking creativity. Even though it took a completely new approach to achieve action/suspense (without any action sequences, or musical score)
it still felt overused and predictable.

However there were few things I appreciated about it.
1) It didn't spoon-feed me everything. It let me piece together the blanks without any unnecessary expositional dialog.
2) The cinematography was quite good.
3) Javier Bardem gave a great performance, and I enjoyed the traditional Coen-style
side-characters.

But overall, kinda dissapointed.

I bought this blind and have to say I was very impressed with this movie. The deliberate, slow pace and prolonged scenic shots may put some off, but not me. You could feel the tenseness just as much as the on screen characters.

I thought Javier Bardem was scarily fantastic. I would definitely like to see more of him, in those sort of roles.

The only problem is you watch an action star in a really good meaty role then boom, the next movie they do is a soppy love story and it's like man grow some balls. I know it's that they don't wanna be pigeon holed in one particular genre but WTF?

Actually decided to watch this again last night. I really did enjoy it. Great movie.

The movie was really good...enjoyed watching it.
