Exactly!

tongue

But seriously, I found it boring. Maybe it's because I constantly need action in my movies to make me sit through them (Yet this doesn't explain why I sat through the Godfather movies...?)

i think it does require the viewer to be able to absorb a film on a different level.

Yeah, I absolutely LOVED this film - but I found myself watching it in a different way to the way I watch other films (action films, for example). I found myself just sitting back and "letting the story unfold" and becoming absorbed in it, rather than being on the edge of my seat, etc as I sometimes am when I`m watching, say, SW or something else......don`t know if that makes sense!

You understand the meaning of the word foreboding? As in, badness is happening RIGHT NOW.

Yeah, I second that - I went for months wondering when I was gonna see the next film I REALLY loved, and then I watched this.

...as too often hype leads to routine action shoot ‘em ups like Open Range or 3:10 to Yuma.

talk_hand Both of those movies kicked ass.

And yes, this is one incredible movie, and like StarDude said, easily my second favorite of the year (No Country being first).

Just watched it about a week ago myself, and I was completely floored by how amazing it was.

It never opened in theaters where I lived, so I had to wait for it to come out in DVD. Both Casey Affleck and Brad Pitt gave phenomenal performances, especially Casey. He was so creepy, like a train wreck you know is coming but can't look away from. The cinematography alone is worth watching it for. And it really doesn't feel like its length. I highly recommend.
