I would have preferred a bit more resolution, but it’s hard to fault the coen brothers for sticking to their filmic style. They build and sustain tension throughout most of the film and couple it with some kick ass violence. I hold that this is not the coen’s best flick, but a worthy addition to their portfolio.
It becomes slightly muddled at the end and requires some decent concentration. The characters have depth, the cinematography carries the mood of the film, and the blood looks as real as the bones coming out of certain elbows.

My 2 cents:
The Coen brothers are top notch film makers and this movie furthers their diverse range of movies. This is a fast paced flick which doesn’t follow the norm. The ending was odd, but if i dont zone out at the end i might even be able to give this a perfect socre.
