How can one who does not like violence like a movie that is full of violence.
It could be the animal inside you. But more likely it is the accompanying elements. The nonchalance, the coolness. Watched the movie after several years and appreciated it a bit more. Is there a story? Yes, and no. They are living their lives and they have to live them (or die) their way. The dialogues are immaculate. No unnecessary cussing, no unnecessary blood (if you pardon the large magnitude of killings). It is the larger picture that is important. No unneeded comedy during the violence either (a mainstay of many hind movies these days which some people seem to enjoy). Truly the making of a don. The dawn of a new Don.

The Recruit (2003) (6/10)
A movie about espionage recruits, and counter-espionage.
Computer hacking is made child's play, and smuggling easier still. It has a few twists and turns, but they are more like going down the Pasadena-LA 110 rather than coming to Arc de Triomphe and asking yourself where you are going to be taken next.
But it does have a few points that allows it to become watchable, if barely so. Perhaps no specific target is one such. You go with the flow and hope you will come out high and dry. Or may be that is not the expression.

No Country for Old Men (2007) (6/10)
A gripping portrayal of nonchalant violence with big money in the picture and a big gun to back it. People get caught in, get greedy, and the cops, or the cop, learns a thing or two. Its gripping but leaves you a bit unsatisfied. Not because the ending is unlike most other movies but because there is no resolution without leaving it really open to the viewers i.e. the viewers know what will follow but all that seems besides the point. Information is vital, and much of is left in the dark, or the obtaining of it.
