The protagonist is like an anti James Bond: no action, no talking, no sex, no drama. And he still gets the job done. And the movie still manages to be suspenseful and entertaining despite all the "missing" bits. The end left me a little confused, but other than that, this was ace. Jarmusch just makes movies I like.

This also has a brilliant music scene with flamenco guitar playing, -dancing and -singing. And it's probably all done while the camera was rolling. I can rarely tolerate music not matching the instrument on camera, but this was the exact opposite. Kudos!

And I enjoyed the soundtrack, too.
