Additional InformationWith NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, the Coen Brothers have found a perfect match in Pulitzer Prize-winning author Cormac McCarthy. Their adaptation of McCarthy's praised novel is a staggering masterpiece. In this almost impossibly faithful adaptation, the film takes place in a small Texas border town in 1980. Sheriff Bell (a never-been-better Tommy Lee Jones) has ruled the land for years without the use of a gun, but a new brand of reckless lawlessness has taken over his town. Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) is an innocent Everyman with a devoted wife, Carla Jean (Kelly Macdonald), but when he stumbles across a drug deal gone deadly and finds two million dollars, he's determined to keep it for himself. There's only one problem. He's being pursued by one of the most amoral, evil psychopaths that the big screen has ever seen. Wearing an absurd haircut and brandishing a pressurized weapon that's used to murder cattle, Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) creeps forward on his mission to track Moss down and return the money to its rightful owners to save his own skin. As the tension mounts, the body count begins to rise, confirming Sheriff Bell's inability to battle this new wave of modern brutality.<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>The most striking thing about the Coen Brothers' thriller is their masterly use of silence to create an almost unbearable level of tension. Cinematographer Roger Deakins is once again at the top of his game, beautifully capturing this stark and lonely world. The well-rounded cast is clearly excited to be a part of such a stellar production--particularly Bardem, whose Chigurh is a freakishly mysterious monster, and is certain to haunt viewers long after the final credit has rolled. In a career filled with striking achievements, this might very well be the Coen Brothers' finest. It is filmmaking at its best.
ReviewsThe Sun - A modern-day classic, Variety - A scorching blast of tense genre filmmaking shot through with rich veins of melancholy, down-home philosophy and dark, dark humor, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN reps a superior match of source material and filmmaking talent, The Times - Pure adrenaline!

  • Best Serial Killer Movie Ever

    This film is perfectly well paced and tightly scripted. The acting is well above the usual stuff. So many chilling moments.

  • Gripping from start to finish ...

    This is my husband's favourite film. We watched it again last night. Coen brothers, so of course it is a great film. Two questions though - why was Tommy Lee Jones not killed when he went into the motel room and why was Josh Brolin killed off screen and so quickly?

  • Dark piece of Americana.

    Disturbing piece of Americana by Cohen Brothers. A poor desert-dweller finds a stash of dollars at the scene of an inter-gang drugs deal gone-wrong. He is determined to keep the money in order to live the American Dream, but is persued across America by a psychopathic assassin determined to recover the cash for his gang masters. Engaging.
