No Country For Old Men
Blood/gore: Lots of blood. Gets a 9.
Dialogue: Darkly funny. Hard to follow at times. you really have to pay attention to the movie. It gets a 8 just for Javier Bardem alone
Sexual Content: None. Barely beats out There Will Not Be Blood. It gets a 1 for at least having female characters.
Special Effects: Not insanely good. Not bad though. A 5 seems reasonable.
Weapons: Javier Bardem uses a silenced shotgun and a CO2 tank used to kill cattle. Weapons get a 10.
Destruction: Some solid destruction of cars via crashes and explosions, as well as just some flat out painting the town red. I estimate it at roughly 2,065,300 mexican pesos worth of destruction. I give it a 7.
Overall: 40/60
Definitely not the best movie I have ever seen, but not bad. I would say you have to see it once just to say you have seen it for Javier Badass (I legally changed his name from Javier Bardem to Javier Badass like 2 minutes ago) alone. Where has this guy been my whole life? Seriously, you definitely see why he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. He also uses a silenced shotgun to kill people. When the hell has anyone ever heard of a silenced shotgun? Exactly. The movie is a little boring at times, but still a hell of a lot more manly than the other terrible candidates for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. I don't necessarily recommend buying it unless you really like it, so I would definitely put the kids to bed early one night and rent this very well made suspenseful crime/mystery thrill ride. The Coen Brothers (also made The Big Lebowski, the funniest movie ever) seem to have found their niche with this offbeat, darkly hilarious movie. I can tell you now though, you will have some unanswered questions after watching it the first time.
