The Coen brothers return to "Blood Simple" territory with this menacing thriller that's on the surface a man on the run story but on a deeper level about what happened to America that it seems far off from its roots. Part of reason seems to be embodied by the monster portrayed by Javier Bardem that defies any reason or understanding. However it's unsettling that it hints to foreigners for the problem. The film is good as it should be coming from Coen brothers and their collaborators, specially the terrific Roger Deakins. The message that it sends should resonate with many Americans. It has reached specially the critics who have been cheerleading the film. America ain't no country for the old fashioned rather than the old because it ain't no country for the young either.
