Least Enjoyable Coen Bros. Film

Being a longtime fan of the Coen Bros. movies, I can say that this one I like the least. From the reviews that I gathered on the film, I had the notion that this was supposed to be a dark comedy, but there is nothing dark about it and most of the humor is mildly funny at best. This film plays more like a drama, that shares similarities with their other film 'No Country For Old Men'. The film's ending is also reminiscent of 'No Country' 's, but in that film it didn't bother me so much and in this one it does. The movie is still worth viewing for any Coen fan, but I just didn't enjoy it near as much as all of their other works.
