“No Country For Old Men” is no “Into the Wild”
Coincidentally, I saw “No Country For Old Men” the day before the Oscars were handed out, and not having seen any of the other nominees for best picture, I can’t compare it to its competition. My first reaction after seeing it though, was that while it was a very good film, certainly something else would win best picture honours.
Javier Bardem is chillingly convincing as a psycopathic killer, but he had next to nothing to say in the movie!
For my money, the best movie of the year is a Golden Globe nominee called “Into The Wild.” I encourage you to pick it up when it is released on video.
