No Country For Old Men

The latest of the Coen Bro’s films, based on the novel of the same title by Cormac McCarthy (author of All The Pretty Horses, The Road), is the story of Vietnam veteran Llewellyn Moss and his theft of two million dollars from the site of a botched drug deal. The rest of the film is about the ensuing manhunt by both parties of the bloodied dope smuggling, two individual hit men, and the county sheriff. Starring Tommy Lee Jones, Woody Harrelson, Josh Brolin (Planet Terror, The Goonies) and Javier Bardem (Collateral, Love In The Time of Cholera), the film is almost completely empty of the dry humour that the Coen Brothers’ are known for and replaces it with an evil sensibility unknown in their works since Barton Fink. Although it shares the familiar Midwestern setting and criminal plot of previous films Raising Arizona and Fargo, the similarities end there. If you’re the type that only goes to the movies when a real bombshell comes out, then go see No Country For Old Men. If you’re the type that likes a Western, an Action flick, or a Coen Brother film, then go see No Country For Old Men. If you are a cinephile, novice or veteran, then go see No Country For Old Men is a must. If you don’t watch movies, go see this one.
