Miramax No Country For Old Men (Blu-ray)
Acclaimed filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen deliver their most gripping and ambitious film yet in this sizzling and supercharged action-thriller. When a man stumbles on a bloody crime scene, a pickup truck loaded with heroin, and two million dollars in irresistible cash, his decision to take the money sets off an unstoppable chain reaction of violence. Not even West Texas law can contain it. Based on the novel byPulitzer Prize-winning author Cormac McCarthy, and featuring an acclaimed cast led by Tommy Lee Jones, this gritty game of cat and mouse will take you to the edge of your seat and beyond - right up to its heart-stopping final moment.

The Coen brothers make their finest thriller since Fargo with a restrained adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel. Not that there aren't moments of intense violence, but No Country for Old Men is their quietest, most existential film yet. In this modern-day Western, Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) is a Vietnam vet who could use a break. One morning while hunting antelope, he spies several trucks surrounded by dead bodies (both human and canine). In examining the site, he finds a case filled with $2 million. Moss takes it with him, tells his wife (Kelly Macdonald) he's going away for awhile, and hits the road until he can determine his next move. On the way from El Paso to Mexico, he discovers he's being followed by ex-special ops agent Chigurh (an eerily calm Javier Bardem). Chigurh's weapon of choice is a cattle gun, and he uses it on everyone who gets in his way--or loses a coin toss (as far as he's concerned, bad luck is grounds for death). Just as Sheriff Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), a World War II vet, is on Moss's trail, Chigurh's former colleague, Wells (Woody Harrelson), is on his. For most of the movie, Moss remains one step ahead of his nemesis. Both men are clever and resourceful--except Moss has a conscience, Chigurh does not (he is, as McCarthy puts it, "a prophet of destruction"). At times, the film plays like an old horror movie, with Chigurh as its lumbering Frankenstein monster. Like the taciturn terminator, No Country for Old Men doesn't move quickly, but the tension never dissipates. This minimalist masterwork represents Joel and Ethan Coen and their entire cast, particularly Brolin and Jones, at the peak of their powers. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Much like I did when I attempted to read a novel by Cormac McCarthy awhile back, I had a difficult time with the movie No Country for Old Men- an adaptation McCarthy's novel of the same title.
Set in the west and beginning with Tommy Lee Jones's southern twang laden narration, the movie puts you in the atmosphere of a dry land where men are men-and quite stoic about it- from the opening shot.
A killer is on the loose, played by Javier Bardem- who won an Oscar for this role. ... Read More

The basis for this movie is the old conundrum, "What would you do if you found a fortune in drug money?" Would you keep it, leave it alone, turn it into the police? What do you think would happen if the 'bad guys' knew that you had the money?
That's the bottom line of this movie. But there's a bigger picture here, in that the people you are dealing with have no respect for human life. It they did, would they be dealing in death to begin with. One man finds the money, and of course he's ... Read More

I haven't read the book which this is based on. Other reviewers have indicated it is a masterpiece. If it is, then so is this brilliant film version. What the Coen brothers have done here is make a film that is completely different from mainstream Hollywood, and so far above the mainstream in terms of quality that it makes you wonder how Hollywood manages to survive with some of the rubbish it produces. There is no comparison you can make with mainstream Hollywood. Really you have to look to European cinema ... Read More

At least for me this film grabbed my attention and held it hostage all the way thru the show. I highly do not recommended it for the young or the faint of heart.
Having said that I wish to say that it was one of the best films that I have seen this year. The writing was 1st rate with a lot of unexpected twists and turns. The Cast was also up for the challenge especially for Mr. Jones and Mr. Brosin. But it was Mr. Bardem who stole the show as a symbol of incredible evil and injustice. You could easily ... Read More

This movie is great. It gives all of us a look at what is happening in our country. A man thinking he can take 2 million dollars from the drug dealers can only hope to make it. This movies depicts the wars on the southern borders that happens every day here. Both my husband and I would have liked a better ending. It is well directed, well acted and intense. Keeps you watching so you won't miss anything.
