    Best film I've seen in a long while. The Coen brothers are awesome. If you haven't seen it, you definitely should.

    I've read that it is quite violent. Is this true? What is the nature of the violence?

    The main baddie is a homicidal sociopath with a silenced shotgun. That about covers it... I wouldn't take someone under 16 to it.

    His other weapon is far cooler. That cattle stunner thing he uses to knock out locks... and brains.

    Saw it the other day. Great movie. A rather anti-climatic final scene, though (but interesting in a "different" sort of way).

    It's not over-the-top extreme violence. Mostly just single gunshot killings, done somewhat graphically. It's more the cold-hearted nature of the killings that some people might find unsettling.
