No Country for Old Men


Saw this a few weeks back and although I thought it was a good film in parts it just didn't seem to explain enough for me, the ending never came to anything although it left you thinking afterwards which I did like. I thought Javier Bardem played a really good antagonist and thats what made this film shine. I'd give it a 7/10 and would still recommend it as a watch.


Directed by the Coen Brothers.


In rural Texas, welder and hunter Llewelyn Moss discovers the remains of several drug runners who have all killed each other in an exchange gone violently wrong. Rather than report the discovery to the police, Moss decides to simply take the two million dollars present for himself. This puts the psychopathic killer, Anton Chigurh, on his trail as he dispassionately murders nearly every rival, bystander and even employer in his pursuit of his quarry and the money. As Moss desperately attempts to keep one step ahead, the blood from this hunt begins to flow behind him with relentlessly growing intensity as Chigurh closes in. Meanwhile, the laconic Sherrif Ed Tom Bell blithely oversees the investigation even as he struggles to face the sheer enormity of the crimes he is attempting to thwart
