Anyhow, I definitely felt unfulfilled when I first watched this flick (gave it 4 stars) but for some reason, the imagery stuck with me and I gave it another go a few weeks later. The second time, I liked the film much more, and knowing what was going to happen didn't make for a less interesting viewing. Seems like the first viewing, I was more focused on Chigurh since as you mention, he's very scary and dramatic in his actions, but the second time it was the dialogue spoken by Bell and a lot of the little details.
