No Country For Old Men (2007) Review

One of The Coen Brothers latest film came to our screens the Coen's have adapted the crime novel by Cormac McCarthy for the big screen with breathtaking look into the Crime Thriller novel. Starring Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin. The ostensible hero is Llewellyn Moss (Brolin), a Vietnam vet who stumbles across the aftermath of a drug deal gone wrong while hunting antelope in Texas. He takes a suitcase stuffed with $2 million in cash, Moss goes on the run. He realize that the suitcase is fitted with a tracking device. Following its signal is hitman Anton Chigurh (Bardem) armed with a cattle stun gun (which fires compressed air which he uses to kill his victims), Bardem's character has a menacingly calm demeanour which is portrayed very well in his scenes especially duing the scene with the gas station owner.


The Coen Brothers this film in such a way of how the world can be cruel to thoughs who live in it and how people's fates can be desided by one man, also they show the desperate struggle for man to survive.

There are a great use of shots use to make the viewer unstand the landscape of where they are and I loved the way the brothers used shadows and reflections to express to the viewer.
The ending though make you feel though there should have been more to it, it just seamed to stop. which was disapointing a I enjoyed this movie ever so much and it has to be one of my Top 10 film, an enjoy to watch again and again
