That weird car-****ing scene, the way the characters talk, Javier Bardem's crazy haircut, Brad Pitts talkative, pseudo-philosophical middle man... it all lends the movie a strange atmosphere that I really like. For me, it works in a really interesting way when put together with what is ultimately a very simple, very nihilistic story of a man who is a chicken playing in a lion's mouth and the not too surprising way that will inevitably end.

Guess I'm an even bigger Ridley Scott apologist!
