Pros

    Josh Bolin was supurb, Josh Brolin a real stand out, I like the fact the bad guy wins, I think it could have a better ending, good acting throughout, full of suspence, beautifully shot, tense and suspenseful from the start, superb Tommy Lee Jones performance, Deakins' cinematography

Cons
    Need to think twice to enjoy the ending., no closure in the ending, Woody was horrible, bad ending

I saw this movie a few months ago, and still think about it frequently.  It was such a suspenseful movie and at times funny.  It was one of those movies that you do not want to end.  It is a cat and mouse type chase throughout the movie and never really lets you rest.  The acting I thought was awesome....   Josh Brolin did an excellent job.  Tommy Lee jones was excellent.  The villain was scary and excellent ( i forgot his name).  Woody Harelson... not so excellent... I think they could have found a number of others to play his part...   Maybe Dennis Leary or Robert Downy Jr instead.....  Yes I probably have thought wayyy to much about this movie........                               <>

I gave this movie only 4 stars because the ending could have been so much better.  This movie had the potential!!!Its kind of like they gave up on it and needed to end it.  I have not read the book, but I suspect I may be missing pertinant information, or it was just left out of the movie.  Yes I would recommend this movie for what it is, even though the ending needed more closure
