@Harry Weisenheimmer: Since I saw the ending twice, one out of context and heard the reaction, I figured I would feel the same as you and them.
When I saw it in context, I thought it was about right. No happy ending to that story. No justice. Just life goes on.

Ok…after reading your review I went ahead and rented NCFOM. It kept me riveted. Surprises around every corner.
The end sucked great big, green, hairy, weasel winkies.

@Thornton: Wow! I’ll want to see those for sure. Actually the killings in NCFOM were bloody but not especially gruesome, as I think about it.

Right there with you, GLS. No Country was great. The book was also fantastic. I’ve heard rumors that two more Cormac McCarthy novels are headed for the big screen right now: The Road (oddly enough, this is also an Oprah’s Book Club book) and Blood Meridian. A word of warning, though: if you thought No Country was violent, these two make it look like an episode of The Smurfs: At one point while I was reading The Road, I actually slammed the book down and got up to walk it off — Brutal stuff, but in that sublime kind of way.
