At least for me this film grabbed my attention and held it hostage all the way thru the show. I highly do not recommended it for the young or the faint of heart.Having said that I wish to say that it was one of the best films that I have seen this year. The writing was 1st rate with a lot of unexpected twists and turns. The Cast was also up for the challenge especially for Mr. Jones and Mr. Brosin. But it was Mr. Bardem who stole the show as a symbol of incredible evil and injustice. You could easily believe that he was pure evil in his insane way in the beautiful setting of West Texas. Altogether a great morality tale of our times.
