Yeah man ... I too watched (saw it from 8.45 am) ... it was boring ... but it was mainly due to the Writer's Guild Strike which was over just a few weeks back. So that is why there was not much enthusiasm / fun in watching it. They must have done all the scripting & other stuff in a hurry.

No country for old men was a very boring film. End is very boring or we can also say that there was no end at all. Why they chose that film??

No country .. Is a pathetic film. Stopped after 15 mins of watching. EIther the genre of the movie is not my taste ( i do like crime/drama though) or the Old setting and style of narration was lacking appeal .. I wish Ellen Page would have won Best Actress for Juno
