Weird and I suppose I can say wonderful, though I doubt that is the correct adjective. The Coen brothers deal out another slice of compulsively watchable cinema. The film scares, chills, excites, upsets and ensnares with equal measure.
Javier Bardem is the creepiest and probably the most chilling screen villain I have had the pleasure to watch.
The story is rather simple, and reading it on paper wouldn’t really inspire, however the result of the Coen brothers treatment is a film to be experienced rather than watched.
I dare you not to enjoy being held hostage by this film.
