And didn't they discuss money, didn't she say something about not having any left? And how'd she get that nice house after living in a trailer park? I think she got the money...she was at the scene.

That was her mother's house.

Finally took the wrapper off and watched this film. It dragged. Too slow.
Some interesting points:

1) The lack of, for the most part, background music.
2) The fact that Llewelyn gets killed.
3) The fact that he gets killed by the Mexicans and not the psychopath.
4) The ending, which I didn't like. The psycho should have been killed in
the crash. It would have tied in very nicely to all those ideas of "luck"
and the "inevitability of death" that people here pointed out.
5) TLJ's monologue at the end seemed pointless.
6) This movie should have been called No Country For Any Man. It was
mostly young or middle-aged men being killed, and the old man was
wise enough to realize that it was time to pull the pin.

You're welcome. It may appear that I'm knocking the film. I'm not. It is a good film. I just like like some of their earlier films better. For example, FARGO and MILLER'S CROSSING.

Ah, but I think the Psycho suffered worse than death in that crash. By the looks of it, he will lose his arm. What good is a one-armed psycho, I ask ya?!

I hate holes in movies.

When Anton kills the businessman, and the accountant asks"Are you going to shoot me?". Anton replies"Do you see me?".

Now you can take this two ways.
1. the accountant replies no, and Anton leaves him alone.
2.The answer to Anton's question is obviously "yes" and therefore the answer Anton intend on using on him. Are you going to shoot me....yes.


Any thoughts on this, or am I over analyzing?

Carson Wells: Buenos Dias. I'm guessing this isn't the future you had planned for yourself when you first clapped eyes on that money. Don't worry, I'm not the man who's after you.
Llewelyn Moss: I know that. I've seen him.
Carson Wells: You've seen him, and you're not dead?

Given the dialog above, I would assume that Anton would not spare someone who just witnessed him murder a man.

You're overanalyzing. It's not a hole -- it's black comedy. Of course he's going to shoot him.
