I wanted this to be special. The Coen Brothers, a western, Jeff Bridges. The ingredients are all there.Except it was far too straight laced. After No Country and (the excellent) A Serious Man, this was a very by-the-numbers film, with the exception of the brilliant cinematography (as always).
A real shame really, it needed (I feel) more time dedicated to the outlaws rather than THE law. Nevemind, its not crap by any standards, its worth a watch regardless, but just doesn't have that classic feel to it.
Picture is superb and the sound does it job.
