so, this isn't exactly a soap-box type thing, except that it is....
Has anyone else seen this movie?
Opinions?

I ,personally, think it's one of the best movies I've ever seen. I think this movie will be held up as a shining example of the technical aspects that go into making a suspense/thriller movie. That and it combines the Bleakness of "Requiem for a Dream" with the witty crime-drama of "Fargo." Top it all off with Javier Bardem's Anton Chiguarh as the creepiest villain since Hannibal Lecter and you've got yourself 2 hours of breathless viewing pleasure that will stick with you for days, if not weeks, or months, or...

This movie makes me want to go buy a pair of cowboy boots. I don't know if I can give a stronger recommendation than that.
Oh, and if I ever come home to see a missing core on a door lock I'm probably gonna need a new pair of pants.

I give it five turtles
