The poll is silly though, the 3 movies are so completely different, I was entertained by all 3 of them, but in different ways.
Bah, whatever, I'm out of here...

Agree it was brainless action.
That was the whole point of the movie, completely over the top, mindless action, presented in an almost satirical manner. I mean they poke fun at pretty much every single action movie cliche. I thought it was quite funny.

I understand. I wasn't entertained by it and you were. Hence the poll.

I assumed he used the bolt gun because it's used for killing cattle. This reinforces the portrayal of an unfeeling killer, who approaches all of his victims like livestock and disposes of them mechanically and swiftly, without malice.
Really. How many times have coins been flipped at slaughterhouses deciding the livestocks fate. Don't over intellectualize that crap.

Is that the guy who got killed by bears? Treadway or something like that.

Like someone else said, I think you really missed the depth of the movie.
I bet you also thought The Shining was about a guy who flipped out and tried to kill his family.

I never said you did, though most people have, so I picked it as an example of a movie with an all-too obvious subtext (just like No Country). If you didn't like it, that's cool, but it's pretty clear that there is a lot more going on in No Country than just a couple of guys, some money, and a bolt gun.

Shoot em up, No Country For Old Men, and Into The Wild.
I managed to get thru 2/3 of the movie before shutting it down. In fact i hit the stop button when Owen had the Senator by the throat on the plane and was holding the rest a bay. That movie was just not my type. Dirt!!
Some people will tell you NCFOM is about the Tommy Lee Jones character coming to grips with a changing world and his place in it or lack thereof. It isn't about that at all, but about the Bardeems character and his captive bolt gun which he uses to kill people and break the locks on various doors. Is there any other reason other than 'quirkiness factor' to have it in the movie? No there isn't. That is essentially the heart of the movie. Frankly, the movie is a bore.Dirt!!
Of the three Into The Wild i would say is the most entertaining. Into The Wild. There isn't anything special about his story i think other than the fact he died. I'm sure there are many similar stories. They just havn't been told. I don't want to get into his motives or whatnot just that i think this was the best of the 3.
I agree with you 100% Many.
