No Country for Old Men

This is a good movie, with some good scenes, but it's essentially a shoot em up. Minimal plot. Zero character development. Within the Coen ouevre it's a quarter of the movie Fargo is, and it pales beside Raising Arizona too. So why all the fuss and Oscars?

I mean, it's a fine shoot em up. Good sets and cinematography, fine guy dialog, inventive violence. I'm enjoying it.
