No Country for Old Men

I first heard about "No Country for Old Men" a few months ago. I'd never heard of the book or Cormac McCarthy, it's writer, but I saw the Cohen Brothers' names attached and was immediately interested. I've been a fan of theirs for a while now and oddly enough, I think "Raising Arizona" is one of my earliest movie memories apart from Walt Disney stuff when I was a kid (or a younger one). I feel like I have an idea of what to expect from them. I kept hearing all these fantastic things about the movie, about the actors, and about the story in general. So I went in expecting something good.

I was blown away. It was one of the most intense, darkly funny, beautiful, and expertly made films I've seen in a long, long time, and undoubtedly the best in 2007.

I don't want to talk about the story, but I will say this: Javier Bardem, as Anton Chigurh, will freak you out. He will make you want to cringe and laugh at the same time.



See this movie. If it isn't playing anymore, then hide away some money and get ready for the DVD.

Final Rating: 10/10
