wanna know what's wierd is that i live in the area where much of the movie is shot. so when i was watching the movie, i was like - holy ****, i'm from there. i know those mountains. i know that stretch of Highway 67 between Marfa and Presidio. i live in Presidio, btw - until Saturday when i move to Washington, thank God.
Washington certainly should be a nicer area. I am not a big lover of desserts, but this area looked so hot, remote and dusty,all that greenery will do your lungs good.
The only good part about this movie is the silenced shotgun, and the the captive bolt piston
You might like the book better.
I can tell you in the book, Llewelyn's end is given to us the same way. Though the circumstances are slightly different in the book, and illustrate the fate/luck theme better.
Yes those tools were pretty impressive - extensions of himself -

I watched this movie this afternoon, I thought it was alright, not a bad movie, but too slow and not enough action. I got bored and had to stop it for a while. I might finish it later, I have about 40 minuts left, is it even worth it?
I thought it was mediocre at best. For one thing the movie was far too long. It also goes into a lot of visually graphic detail early in the movie, only to not let you see what happens when Llewelyn is killed, other than he was gunned down after lowering his guard. The scene he dies in makes you think that mexican thieves were involved somehow because the uzi sounding gunfire along with the uze lying on the ground and the way TLJ sees a truck of them speeding away from the gun fire. But it appears that Chigger was involved as well although we don't know exactly how. If money wasn't the point of the story, then why spend the first hour and a half making such a huge deal of it? Either way, to wrap so much time around L's character only to have all the action omitted from when he is killed was very aggravating. If I wanted guessing games, lets play that from the beginning by not showing so much detail.
All in all, it seemed more like a weak suspense/semi-horror film. The ending was pretty lame too IMO. I don't need TLJ riding off into the sunset, or the good guy killing the bad guy. But it would be nice to see something better than that.
