“It is a bloody and grisly film at times, but this is one of those few times where the violence and gore are not just necessary but essential. On first viewing its simply thrilling, on subsequent viewing I get the feeling this will only grow in estimation..” - Garth Franklin - Dark Horizons

“McCarthy's ferocious tale gives the Coens room to unleash their cinematic gifts, but keeps them from wandering too far afield and losing themselves in the marshes of technical prowess or easy irony.” - Christopher Orr - New Republic

Be prepared for blood and gore, but also be prepared for an exhilarating piece of cinema by two of Hollywood’s masters.  Yes. this is Hollywood and yes it won Oscars and has played the mainstream circuit, but the Coen Brothers are not your usual Hollywood players.  Their films have a distinctive dark and humorous edge that is ferociously compelling at its best - and this is the Coen Brothers at their best.

Enjoy the difference of all the expertise and technical skill, not to mention money and star power, of the Hollywood machine, in the hands of true originals.
