No Agua for Dying Men

Thankfully, this is the Coen Bros.' return to cinema. Their Billy Willderesque hints to the audience and Javier Bardem's gift to play a psychopath make it worth seeing. I do think that too many people have jumped on the band wagon raving about this movie and it is not my personal favorite of theirs. Probably my third or fourth favorite, next to Fargo, Hudsucker Proxy, and maybe the Big Lebowski.
Josh Brolin and his dumb-ass-but-sweet-wife make some of the most terrible decisions known to man. The movie is full of sweet surprises and really close calls. I'd also like to comment that I was more impressed than usual with Woody Harrelson's role.
