I've always found it wonderful that these two brothers are able to work so well together. I think that we would be at each others' throats constantly if i worked with one of my family members - and we like each other.

I suppose that is beside the point. This movie is extremely good and very memorable. For some very good reasons.

I am actually one of the people that found this movie to drag on a bit and to be honest with you I can't say exactly why i feel that way. However this is easily compensated for by the presence of one of the most terrifying characters of all time. I am of course referring to Javier Bardem's chilling portrayal of hitman, Anton Chigurh.

There is just something about his size, his extremely deep voice, his weapon of choice, and his near complete lack of empathy that puts him right near the top of most evil baddies in any movie ever. I don't want to say too much in the event that I could spoil something for those that have not yet seen the movie (and you really should) but i will say this: I did some research and even spoke to a few people to investigate if this sort of weaponry exists, and it doesn't. I mean the tech exists, but it has nearly zero range. If you haven't seen the movie you don't know what I am talking about, but that is precisely the point.

The story is actually one that is featured in many other films. A common man stumbles upon a drug deal gone wrong in the middle of the desert. Everyone on site is either dead or near dead and there is a case with 2 million dollars in it. Llewelyn Moss (played by Josh Brolin) takes off with the cash, only to be relentlessly pursued by the aforementioned demon of a man, Anton Chigurh.

THERE IS A MINOR SPOILER IN THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH - Skip to after the next image if you haven't seen the film.

I think one of my favorite aspects of the movie is the involvement of Woody Harrelson, who we are lead to believe is going to be a major character in the story, but he is actually quite unceremoniously dispatched shortly after his introduction. I like this tactic. The first time I recall seeing it was in the movie SCREAM, where Drew Barrymore gets offed in the first 5 minutes of the movie.

The scenery choices for this movie were simply incredible. I haven't spent much time in that part of the world but i think we tend to forget how much of the USA, especially in and around Texas, is filled with wide open spaces. Fans of this movie might notice i didn't talk about Tommy Lee Jones at all and that is nothing personal, i think he is a great actor. However, in this movie I felt as though he was more of a narrator than an actual part of the story. Correct me if i am wrong, i tend to be from time to time.

I feel as though this movie should be on a list for one of the best crime-thrillers made in Hollywood ever. This is not a genre I feel that Hollywood does particularly well but No Country for Old Men is epic, and you should make time to see it.

Great movie, the only thing I never really liked was the end, I do not know the reason.

What happens to Brolin's character left me very confused, and then something very sudden happens to Chigurh as well. I do not know, maybe one day I will see it with different eyes and the end will finally end up liking me, but for now, the only thing I question about the film is that.

Another thing that I like about this movie, are the dialogues, the coin scene is just great, it transmits a lot with little.

And I agree with you, Chigurh is one of the best villains in history.

A modern Western for adults.

The Coen Brothers have achieved the remarkable in directing a fun and violent Western for contemporary audiences that does not feel old fashioned. The writing is pithy and revealing, while the characters are unique types all their own. It is pretty slow like all Westerns, but you are going to have a good time watching No Country for Old Men.

I must mention the stellar acting from Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, and Tommy Lee Jones in particular. You will really feel like you have an understanding of who these men are at heart. They are memorable and complex characters that are a pleasure to watch perform. The great natural acting makes for a delightful viewing. No Country for Old Men is certainly well cast.

However, I feel like in addition to the movie's general slow burn pace, the lack of music leaves you witnessing quiet homicide over and over again. I wish there was a more notable score to listen to in order to build an atmosphere. Carter Burwell is credited as the musical composer for the film, but I cannot recall any music at all. It is not an upfront score to say the least.

Overall, No Country for Old Men is worth a watch. It is the best neo-noir style neo-Western movie to come out in the 2,000's really. I would also recommend The Big Lebowski and Fargo from The Coen Brothers if you end up liking No Country for Old Men. For more modern Western movies, check out Hell or High Water, The Revenant, or Wind River

It's really great to work with your family members as a team. You'll actually feel the presence of love, happiness and joy within. Great film, I'll check it out so as to deduce my own lessons.
