Amazon.co.uk Review

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 veteran who needs 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 veteran, 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 conscious, 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

4.0 out of 5 stars Intense engrossing entertainment from the Coens, 28 Mar 2008
By The Holy Mollusc (Harlow, Essex, UK) - See all my reviews
Anyone familiar with the Coen brothers work will appreciate this film. If you liked Blood Simple and Fargo, then elements of those movies are here. The film drips with a brooding sense of foreboding which is always hard to capture and pulls you in. great performances from the three leading characters add to the intensity of the film, and elements of black comedy give it a nice twist.

Much has been made of the final scenes of the film being a disappointment, but if you watch the film and follow the plot, a predictable outcome would have been too easy to write and in my opinion would have been even more disappointing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Diefies moral reading, 31 Dec 2008
By Damon K. J. Mitchell (Slovakia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I think (though I don't want to speak for anybody else) that the main reason some people don't like this movie is because it defies traditional moral and movie logic - there really is no moral compass here. What happens to every character is almost totally random, good deeds often results in terrible consequences and and bad deeds can go ahead unhindered - in this sense it is much truer to life, but it makes disturbing cinema where we are so conditioned to see heroes be pushed to their limits but ultimately triumph and evil doers be punished by those who suffered most at their hands. Themes of chance and determination/fate and the crossing over of unavoidable lines of force or action are the themes of this film it seems - made most vivid in the coin toss scene with the shop assistant.

The abrupt ending threw me for a loop the first time as well - annoyed me and frustrated me.... but hell it also made me think about what I'd seen and that's something not many movies do - sending you off with a friendly cinematic, cathartic pat on the back. And the more I thought about it the more it seemed right, to tie everything up neatly at the end would undermine the very idea of movie itself.

Be prepared to think about it a bit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Had to add my twopence worth!, 9 Oct 2009
By Saul Davies (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I know there's been about a million reviews but...

Absolutely fantastic, had me spellbound for the whole film.

This film is all about the picture, the characters and the dialogue, if that's important in a film (and lets face it, it really ought to be)then this hits all the right notes. If however you're a big fan of standard block-buster fair, have no imagination and have never read a good book in your life then you'll probably just feel cheated that it hasnt got much of a plot and no 'big finale' ending! If you think the Bourne films are good then you probably should forget it!
