The Coens Brothers make yet another masterpiece, and this time, it’s one of their best. It’s just incredible, incredible filmmaking; the final third will be sure to bring lots of controversy and talk, but the more I think about it, the more I love what the Coens and McCarthy did.

The acting is INCREDIBLE, especially Bardem and Brolin. It might be the Coen Bros. best directing effort yet, and their strongest collaboration with DP Roger Deakins yet. The almost complete absence of any music only heightens the tension, making this by far the scariest, most action packed Coen Bros. film yet.

This is really turning out to be quite the year for film.

Yeah, I really have no idea how I’d rank The Coen Brothers. Maybe just ranked by grade (for sanity’s sake, I’ll just pretend I gave no country 4/4)
