Pretty good movie, but the trailer is misleading.
At first, the movie seems pretty anti climatic, and dry (no music). The end will confuse you if you don't understand what the movie is about. There are certain events that seem major to the storyline that are not really focused on, which irritated me, until I started to see what was really being told.
The story really isn't about the guy that finds 2 million in drug money, or about the bad guys trying to find him. The story is about a small town sheriff coming to grips with a new type of criminal that the world is producing.
Keep that in mind when watching the movie, and the end will make more sense.
There are a lot of gory scenes.
Not a movie for kids, not a movie for someone looking for an action flick, pretty deep for movies of today's standard.
What's great about it: solid performance on acting, excellent use of surround sount
What's not so great: No movie soundtrack can make it dry and boring. Not your typical formula for a movie

Great, manical killer story, I was looking toward an ending when the killer will get his due.... however, the end was abrupt and left me with, huh? that was a wasted 2 hours of my time... until watched special features which states that it is a story about how the world has changed and no longer a place for older generation cops/sheriffs... made more sense, but I would rather have a different ending.
What's great about it: special features explaining the story behind the story
What's not so great: the story of the manical killer cut short

This has got to be one of the best films I've seen in a very long time. The acting, direction, and production are superb. The subject matter is more than a little dark and the film definitely earns its R rating. Tommy Lee Jones delivers an excellent performance as a small town west Texas sheriff, and Javier Bardem's performance is absolutely classic. Some people really hate the ending to this movie, but I personally think it was perfect commentary and suited the story quite well. It's grim, darkly funny, exciting, and exceptionally well-paced. Great film. Make no mistake, however, this is NOT a family night movie. Check it out.
What's great about it: The Coens are at the top of their game
What's not so great: A little dark for a lot of people, the ending may make you angry :)

i see what the coen brothers are trying the accomplish, by making every violent scene very silent and that worked and helped it out a lot. it added some extra suspence even it there was nothing going on. a lot of people complained about the ending, but i like it. it had a quiet and and peaceful ending that noone even thought to expect. and sure almost everything might go wrong in the story, but that just tells you that josh brolin and tommy lee jones arent the big unrealistic action guys that most movies are made of these days. i like josh brolin a lot in this and tommy lee jones is perfect as the western sherrif, but javier bardem cuaght my eye completely. hes so cold and vicious in this and the eiry silence in his scenes makes everything so much more intense. the cinametography is great also. but this wasnt best picture of 07 in my point of veiw. american gangster was and it didnt even get nominated. overall, this is a classic violent and gritty take on the drama/suspence genre.

Great movie on face value but so much more. The Coen brothers are known for deep symbolism and nearly every aspect of this film can be interpreted. Even you do not understand the symbolism its a wonderful film, but this is a good one to purchase and watch more then once. I think many get turned off with this film because of the ending. I won't give it away but in my opinion it could not have ended any other way, and those who are attracted to more then just shinny things will appreciate the art. This film has made my list of favorites.
What's great about it: watching over and over and over agian
What's not so great: those who love all those -not an other movie movies

The movie is fantastic and the blu ray makes it extra special, add DTS-HD...Perfect. If you like this movie you will love it even more on this format. The only really downside is that fact that it is the second blu ray relase of this movie. The second disc is only a digital copy, more bonus features than the original.
What's great about it: One of the coens best!!
What's not so great: The "2-Disc Special Edition" is a little decieving,
