Chris, you have got to be younger than 30 to be so sparse with your adjectives and so definitive with your opinions.

"No country for old men" reads like a screenplay. Strangely the resulting movie was good to mediocre, it failed to catch the human melodrama underlying the machismo.

With "The Road" it will be totally dependent on actors of charisma and ability to carry the central tenet. Unfortunately I am expecting Hollywood to deliver big-time on the special effects of the environment and the substrate, while under-writing the acting parts.

Let's wait and see.
