No Country for Old Men

Post by Mike »

Written by the Coen brothers (famous for many films as I found out on IMDB including O'Brother Where Art Thou?). This is the IMDB plot synopsis.

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.

Starring Tommy Lee Jones and a very scary Javier Bardem as a psychotic killer. I was fascinated with the plot and the characters and would give it a 5s.

Lizzie fell asleep, I will let you decide on which is the more telling review. . . ;-)
