A sociopathic hitman is still just a hitman.

John Doe was a martyr.

Although I have to say that Javier Bardem easily gave a more memorable performance than Kevin Spacey.

And by the way, just because I don't describe Chigurh as a sociopath doesn't mean I don't understand he is one. Regardless, he is nothing more than a hitman in comparison to the character of John Doe whose purpose in life was above simply killing people for money, but instead delivering a message to the masses through the people he killed.

Huge difference.
 
You said he was just a hitman, though. :|

And I think jmcc's loose comparison was to say that both John Doe and Chigurh were more than human -- they were forces.

Sorry for not clarifying. I was speaking simply in terms of each character's particular purpose. I'm sorry.

Yea I heard good things about it too and heard about nominations for it. I wanted to watch something good on XBL and saw this and gave it a shot. Like I said in the other thread it was "ok". I may give it another viewing before the timer expires tonight.

I liked it a lot. I thought the ending was fine despite other people griping about it.
