Product Description Young VietNam vet stumbles upon remnants of a drug deal gone bad in W. Texas 1980 -- he's hunted by two vicious assassins who want t he money back. .co.uk Review 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

No Country for Old Men - intriguing and involving story.
Dark story about a hunter stumbling on the aftermath of a gunfight in the middle of the desert and finding a case of money. Jodh Brolin plays the hunter and is tracked by a homicidal psychopath very well acted by Javier Bardem. Tommy Lee Jones and Woody Harrelson - amonsgt others, add to the acting strength of the film. Very well filmed, produced, scripted and acted. Hard to fault. Worth watching.

Brilliant movie
I became interested in this movie after watching a YouTube video about it and I have not been left disappointed at all. Great acting, dark, gritty and suspenseful. I have nothing bad to say about it.

Classic thriller - great acting, great production, great direction
This is one of the best films I’ve seen for a long time. The acting was superb. The three lead characters were clearly defined and very different. Javier Bardem as the psychopathic multiple killer Anton Chigurh was quite outstanding. Almost every time his face changed expression, the hairs stood up on the back of my neck. The story basically is about a man finding a suitcase full of money and deciding to keep it. Simple, straightforward stuff. Almost every scene builds up to a blood stained climax or a narrow escape. The minor characters are well done too. Mrs Moss played by the lovely Kelly Macdonald was charming and Woody Harrelson was excellent as a rational hitman. My only problem with this film is the ending which lacked resolution (as others have pointed out). In one way, this is not important - there was never going to be a ‘happy ending’ and justice was never going to be done. In fact a happy ending would have been out of place and probably ruined the ‘existentialist’ message of the film – which seems to be ‘life is a bitch, get on with it’. Be that as it may, I was left unsatisfied at the end, which may reflect more badly on me than on the film. All the same, because of the sustained brilliance of the direction, script and film making, I would strongly recommend it.

I don't know how many times I've watched this movie, but I see something new everytime.A tour-de-force in every way, the original novel notwithstanding.Screenwriting, script, acting are all of the highest calibre. A 'noughties' film, set in 1980 and feeling like a 1970s movie with an unresolved ending.A true modern masterpiece with Messrs Jones and Bardem standing out at the top of their games.

Classic
Anton Chigurh is so serious and funny at the same time in this movie even though he doesn’t intend to be. That hairstyle is something else and not something I’d expect to see on a nasty serial killer psychopath.
