No Country for Old Men is a brilliantly disturbing film adaptation of the equally blistering novel by Cormac McCarthy. Set in the bleak backdrop of middle class Texas in the 1980s, Vietnam Vet and smalltime hunter Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) stumbles across the bloody remains of a drug deal gone bad, taking with him the briefcase containing two million dollars.
There begins the race between good and evil;
Sheriff Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) battles his inner demons in an effort to reach Moss before Anton Chigurh, (Javier Bardem) a ruthless and bloodthirsty psychopath aimed at retrieving the briefcase and keeping warped promises.
Intensely bleak, the film stays true to the vernacular of McCarthy, beginning and ending with the actual dialog from the first and last pages of the book. Bardem's depiction of the psychotic killer is unnerving and Jones' disillusionment is palpable.
The ending is twisted, even for those of us who have read the book. In fact, people were yelling at the screen! This move is most definitely an Oscar contender for all three male leads, as well as the directors who had the guts and wisdom to stay true to McCarthy. See it. Then see it again!

Change can be difficult at times, especially when it consists of tearing down about two years worth of work and deleting it into oblivion. Thank God for the print button! From the smoldering ash of our last version of this blog comes this brand new shiny one -- where you finally can comment back on that which we are discussing and even contribute yourself :o) During this transition, please be patient with us as we work out the bugs in this new system.
