Greg Kelley, Fox News Sunday AM though liked the Will Smith flic, and I'll be going today at the matinee to see it and I'll review it on my blog tomorrow evening. Last week, on basis of it's reviews, we viewed "No Country for Old Men", and, while Tommy Lee Jones is a superb actor, the plot dragged, the movie was overly long, the villain unbelievable, and abruptly ended as if the production company had suddenly ran out of film with no resolution of the plot. It was not of the quality I had come to expect of the Coen Brothers (Fargo, Blood Simple). I'd give it a mixed review. There is no music track, but it's shot and edited superbly. Two stars.
