An excellent, no-holds-barred, gritty drama from the Cohen Brothers. No predictable subplots and pathos-filled performances here. Simply solid, praise-worthy acting in a thoroughly enjoyable piece of film making. Vivid and visceral... A stand-out performance from Javier Bardem makes this film especially memorable.

No Country For Old Men and the love story between money and vicious vow have met! This all-star cast has the talent and the script to wow you! I recently purchased this film along with There Will Be Blood! Another lawless blood hungry money script! Own 'em!

This genius Coen brothers adaptation is a crime thriller, taking place in West Texas. The film has been praised by almost every major critic and even got Javier Bardem a best supporting actor award. The story is very dark, but a thrill ride, nonetheless.

The Coen brothers make their finest thriller since Fargo with a restrained adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel. Not that there aren't moments of intense violence, but No Country for Old Men is their quietest, most existential film yet. In this modern-day Western, Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) is a Vietnam vet who could use a break. One morning while hunting antelope, he spies several trucks surrounded by dead bodies (both human and canine). In examining the site, he finds a case filled with $2 million. Moss takes it with him, tells his wife (Kelly Macdonald) he's going away for awhile, and hits the road until he can determine his next move. On the way from El Paso to Mexico, he discovers he's being followed by ex-special ops agent Chigurh (an eerily calm Javier Bardem). Chigurh's weapon of choice is a cattle gun, and he uses it on everyone who gets in his way--or loses a coin toss (as far as he's concerned, bad luck is grounds for death). Just as Sheriff Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), a World War II vet, is on Moss's trail, Chigurh's former colleague, Wells (Woody Harrelson), is on his. For most of the movie, Moss remains one step ahead of his nemesis. Both men are clever and resourceful--except Moss has a conscience, Chigurh does not (he is, as McCarthy puts it, "a prophet of destruction"). At times, the film plays like an old horror movie, with Chigurh as its lumbering Frankenstein monster. Like the taciturn terminator, No Country for Old Men doesn't move quickly, but the tension never dissipates. This minimalist masterwork represents Joel and Ethan Coen and their entire cast, particularly Brolin and Jones, at the peak of their powers. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

This movie was so awesome and such a nail biter. Javier Bardem is chilling in this role as the assassin.
