Capital_Tenant 12/18/17 10:22:23 PM #1:	Just watched it yesterday, and man, it's so well done. The acting, cinematography, and even script are pretty good. Though, I still have some gripes with this movie. Some of the editing are kind of abrupt, ~~Llewelyn's death is pretty lame~~, and the ending is underwhelming. It would be better if the movie faded out to black and immediately rolled to credits after the scene where Chigurh got hit by a car. Not the best ending, definitely, but it's miles better than what we have in the final version, with Ed Tom talking about his dreams and shit. My favorite scene in this movie is probably the one where ~~Chigurh burned a car to catch everyone off guard, so that he can sneak in the pharmacy unsuspected.~~ Such a cool scene. --- "Death is not the greatest loss in life.
