re: Most Overrated Coen Bros Movie?

In a weird way I actually think No Country for Old Men qualifies as "overrated" for them because a lot of people think it came from their brilliant minds but they actually just filmed the Cormac McCarthy novel almost scene for scene and word for word. And I think Tommie Lee Jones was involved before they were.
It's still a great movie but it could have still been a great movie if they never picked up the book.

I read the book after watching the movie and had to double check to make sure it wasn't the script. Very minor difference between book and movie right down to the dialogue.

I think it's a great movie also. But it seems natural that we are now getting to the "No County for Old Men is overrated" edgy takes in internet discussions.
