Coen Brothers. Big Fan of this duo.... I think they finally lost me. I understand this movie won a whole buncha awards and crap, and had a great cast coming into it not knowing exactly what it was about...
7 hours into the movie I still am not sure what the hell the point of it was... they kept their avant-guard story telling theme as always between writing and directing but somewhere in there they FORGOT TO WRITE A GOOD STORY!
It goes unsaid that it set in the 80's (you pick that up), you get the whole 'ghost assassin' thing... but nothing ever comes together... not a lick of it makes since. Tommy Lee gave that speach at the end but all it made me want to do is a take a shot of something strong and bang a hammer into my forehead.
