    i thought so too, until i watched it all the way through

    first why on earth were they talking so quietly??? therefore i don't fucking know what the sheriff said in the end.

    second hell, i expected something more at the end of it

    Javier Bardem really played a mean psycho-killer! He was awesome!

    And yeah, the ending I totally zoned out during Tommy Lee Jones's speech.

    Might have missed the whole meaning of the movie in that final speech about his dream!!! :)

    I was grossly disappointed by this movie. Found it to be really slow. I might have to see it again, however, when I am not as tired.

    I heard Kelly MacDonald is in this one.
    I really liked her in Trainspotting ;)

    the ending is fine. its just another way of fucking with your preconceived ideas of cinematic conventions

    thats what the whole film does

    anyone else think Bardem's character was a metaphor for death?

    And that Timmy Lee Jones' speech was all about not being where he thought he was going to be at a given moment, with death around the corner.

    I thought it was a great film and want to see it again.

    somewhat disturbingly, i now have a crush on javier bardem.

    The building of suspense and Javier Bardem are awesome, but I also feel that the movie fell apart in the last 30 minutes. I've read a bunch of reviews and thoughts, but nobody can seem to explain why they like this movie so much (particularly the ending). Instead, you get the vague sense of "well maybe this movie was just to smart for you." I'm calling Emperor's New Clothes until someone can explain to a dummy like me what is so brilliant about the ending.

    (And this is coming from a huge David Lynch fan...)

    the ending was just...eh....shit happens. people kill each other these days, and they did so years ago.

    Those damn Mexicans, had to ruined the ending ;) :P

    BTW, I thought Bardem should have gotten a Best Actor nomination NOT Best Supporting Actor. He was basically in the beginning through the end.

    Jeepers Creepers - maybe not very intelligent movie, but the ending stuck in my mind for a long time

    also Easy Rider absolutely love that movie

    exactly, beginning was brilliant! and movie was nicely shot in a good location but as it went on further and further to the end i started getting bored.

    oh, please someone can you tell what the dude said!!???

    and also come'on people realise it's another slasher movie nothing intelligent in that

    sorry genie, but you're really talking nonsense! slasher movie? bollocks to that. comparing it to jeepers creepers? embarassing!

    in the end he is talking about riding with his father through snow and his father is riding ahead, but he can see that when he stops his father will have made a fire for him....or something along those lines

    I haven't read the book yet so I'm not sure if the movie is depicted part by part/ word for word or not but I think the Cohen Brother could have made a better ending. This would be one of the BEST crime movies ever.

    Finally watched it a few months ago and can honestly say I did not see the ending coming.

    Really really shocked me. Still does!
