cinematographer: roger deakins

one of the best made movies of all time, not one to watch over and over, but well done with brilliant acting and heart wrenching checks into reality. wonderful film.

this was an astounding film. it was dark but funny, disturbing but engaging. its not often that movies about hitmen and drug money become masterpieces, but this is one. the end was chaotic and then anticlimatic in a strange shift in momentum, but in all the movie was near perfect. tommy lee jones was really good even though his character was the least necessary to the plot. a great movie.

denzel plays rueben carter better than rueben carter plays rueben carter

underrated, very well made and intriguing

this was a strange but very entertaining movie. john goodman steals the show with an amazing but simple performance and turturro gives his best performance as barton fink. the twist near the end was actually clever and intersting and the way that the coens used the hotel as a character was brilliant. great film.

this was a good flick to watch, but it had some problems. positively, brad pitts performance was top notch and the film was interesting. it had more of a documentary feel than a movie feel but it didnt detract too much. negitively this story was told very unclearly. much was barely eluded to with little or no explination, even things that seemed important. in nearly three hours you would think that they could have given a fuller picture of some things. in the end i would recommend this film, especially to anyone interested in jesse james, it wasnt as great as it could have been but it was very good. the cinematography may be the best of the year.

this is a great flick. one of many strong efforts by the coen bros. with the strong cinematography of roger deakins. the acting was the high point of this film with the actors pulling off their roles with a lot of character. the story was well told and side bars to the story were well placed and clever. great flick.

this is an excellent movie. denzel does a great job as usual of taking a decent movie and making it better with his on screen presence and the plot was great. tony shaloub was also cool and him being middle eastern as an FBI agent in a movie were the bad guys are all middle eastern was a cool dynamic. great movie.

very good film

great flick. mel was good and they had good chemistry together

terrible, maybe even half a star. boring and pointless, shows the depravity of war rather than the glory, which doesnt make for a good film to watch. makes marines look less like heroes and more like silly high school kids. this may be realistic but that doesnt make it a good film to watch. i only gave it 1 star because jamie fox was good in this one.
