No Country For Old Men [DVD]

Dark story about a hunter stumbling on the aftermath of a gunfight in the middle of the desert and finding a case of money. Jodh Brolin plays the hunter and is tracked by a homicidal psychopath very well acted by Javier Bardem. Tommy Lee Jones and Woody Harrelson - amonsgt others, add to the acting strength of the film. Very well filmed, produced, scripted and acted. Hard to fault. Worth watching.

I became interested in this movie after watching a YouTube video about it and I have not been left disappointed at all. Great acting, dark, gritty and suspenseful. I have nothing bad to say about it.

One of my favourite movies of all time. The bad ass Anton is terrifying.Javier Bardem, what an actor, a masterclass in acting. Wow.Highly recommend, and sit tight, it’s some ride.All the acting is first rate. Love it.

And I've got a few.

This is one of the best films I’ve seen for a long time. The acting was superb. The three lead characters were clearly defined and very different. Javier Bardem as the psychopathic multiple killer Anton Chigurh was quite outstanding. Almost every time his face changed expression, the hairs stood up on the back of my neck. The story basically is about a man finding a suitcase full of money and deciding to keep it. Simple, straightforward stuff. Almost every scene builds up to a blood stained climax or a narrow escape. The minor characters are well done too. Mrs Moss played by the lovely Kelly Macdonald was charming and Woody Harrelson was excellent as a rational hitman. My only problem with this film is the ending which lacked resolution (as others have pointed out). In one way, this is not important - there was never going to be a ‘happy ending’ and justice was never going to be done. In fact a happy ending would have been out of place and probably ruined the ‘existentialist’ message of the film – which seems to be ‘life is a bitch, get on with it’. Be that as it may, I was left unsatisfied at the end, which may reflect more badly on me than on the film. All the same, because of the sustained brilliance of the direction, script and film making, I would strongly recommend it.

I don't know how many times I've watched this movie, but I see something new everytime.A tour-de-force in every way, the original novel notwithstanding.Screenwriting, script, acting are all of the highest calibre. A 'noughties' film, set in 1980 and feeling like a 1970s movie with an unresolved ending.A true modern masterpiece with Messrs Jones and Bardem standing out at the top of their games.

One of the best films I’ve seen highly recommend

Anton Chigurh is so serious and funny at the same time in this movie even though he doesn’t intend to be. That hairstyle is something else and not something I’d expect to see on a nasty serial killer psychopath.
