Good movie kind of in the vein of No Country For Old Men. You where the whole thing is going from the very beginning which creates tension as you get to know and like the characters. I thought it was interesting how many parts of the movie went completely undescribed, which lets the viewer fill in the blanks with something that could be much different than what actually happened and thereby increasing the tension for each individual. My wife disliked the movie for the same reason.

I didn't know El Paso was such a happening city.

Critics are saying it is one of the worst movies of the year. How was Cameron "Leather-face" Diaz's sex scene with the car?

See, some would say it was hot, but I think of it the way Javier Barden's character described it, "like one of those sucker fish in an aquarium making its way up the side of the glass."

I don't find her hot and definitely did not in this movie. Penelope Cruz was fantastic. She seems to have found the fountain of youth.

This was the worst movie I've seen in years!

I have watched this on HBO. I think I like the movie more the second time. It gets a bit slow in the second half.

I loved this movie! Javier Bardem's character was awesome. I think I'm going to start dressing like him. I wish I had his hair. My wife sat there making fun of it the whole time, saying people don't really talk like that. I know. It's a fucking movie.

I agree on the dress. I wish I could pull of the pastel colors but I think people would just think I was some big bear trolling for action.

It was hilarious when the street kids took his shoes and sunglasses after he got whacked.

I loved this movie. I was starting to think I was alone in that.
