This movie is raved about by so many people, but for the life of me I cannot figure out why. It's terrible. Simply and plainly terrible. The characters are boring, the plot is simplistic, and there's far too much pointless profanity. Jeff Bridges' character is an idiot and a loser, and somehow we're supposed to identify with him and the trouble he gets himself into.Thinking back, I realize that most of the rave reviews I heard of this movie came in my college days, and not coincidentally, most people I knew back then were a lot like Bridges' character- losers, drug users, drop-outs, and drifters. The Coen Brothers are great film makers, but not here. Don't waste your time or money on this horrible film.
