I loved it as well. I won't bore everyone with all the why's. Well, just a couple. I'm a big DDL fan, and this is a great performance. The "over-the-topness" is appropriate when considering the lengths Big Oil has traversed to extend its power and influence.
"So the whole film is just about the Protaganist's determination and paranoia?"
Hmm, you mean like Raging Bull? A good story can be grounded in any structure, if told well. And the sometimes cacophonous score. Well, I won't presume to know what a filmmaker is going for with his/her decisions, but for me, it represented the fact that this man was completely cut off from the beauty in his life. He was consumed by oil and money, possessed even. So we weren't allowed to enjoy the scenic shots, just as he was unable to.
Oh yeah, I disliked No Country.. intensely. Diff. strokes.
