10/10

It is the best movie made by Coen Brothers. The way the story is told along with the perfect casting makes this movie an instant classic. I can't imagine any one else but Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin playing their respective roles. Their body language, acting, diction, and intensity are a revelation. I have seen Javier Bardem's earlier movies and knew that he is a great actor, but I haven't seen any of Josh Brolin's movies and he surprised me a lot with his screen presence. Any one who sees this movie will draw their own conclusions as it is not a plain vanilla story or concept.
Coen Brothers can get the best out of their actors because they are some of the few true geniuses making films. Their screenplay is truly original and wonderful. I am quite sure that the stature of this movie will reach Taxi Driver proportions over time.
For me, the movie is about the people that get engulfed by the unsentimental and non-discriminating nature of the violence. See it and draw your own meaning. Don't miss it.
