Others say...
"Love it..." Certainly the best film I have seen all year. I'm not on the "Best Movie Ever" bandwagon, but it has been a long time since my eyes were glued to the screen as much as they were during this film. Javier Bardem gives one of the most chilling performances I have ever seen. I will buy this and watch it again and again.
UPDATE: Have bought it, watched it six times. Never gets old. I've changed my review from 4.5 stars to 5.
"Refreshing!" I love this movie for everything that it lacks! It lacks big, unrealistic, hollywood explosions and action sequences, computer generated graphics (aside from a couple of animal related scences), pretentious actors and it doesn't take place in a predictable, boring, metropolitan area. There is an overwhelmingly sparten feel or barreness to the film and I just can't emphasize enough how refreshing that was for a modern film! It is simply a story stripped down to the essentials and it is told so beautifully and with such talent that there isn't even a contemporary score; it's not neccessary and you won't miss it! I love the fact that everything about the movie is unpolished; the actors, the dialoge, the wardrobe, the sets/filming locations... I say "unpolished" but this in no way implies unprofessional and/or sloppy and only adds to the authenticity! This was the first film in a long time that I came away from feeling truly entertained! In short, this movie is authentic, real and YES, refreshing given the excessive drivle that we constantly have to muddle through in the film industry these days. To those who gave this movie a poor review because of the ending; get over it!! Is life always as predictable as you want it to be?
"anticlimax" No Country for Old Men was interesting, but the abrupt ending was odd. I must have missed something. I'll have to watch it again. Definitely worth watching.
""No Country for Old Men" is very uneven, but interesting." I'm sorry, but I just don't get all the hype about these directors/writers and their films, especially this one.
I found this film to be very uneven. The cast is excellent and compelling to watch from start to finish, but the story is all over the place. The first half is outstandingly well-paced and delivered, but the second half seems to be directed/written by others as it is noticeably different. It pales in comparison to the first half. I wish I could express better HOW this is so, but that is hard. I just simply found myself no caring about the storyline much and a good thing since the ending is a complete clunker.
I have to say that I was very disappointed with the extreme unevenness of this film, but it is good overall. Nowhere near all the hype, but generally good.
"WAAAAAY TOO MUCH HYPE" I AGREE FULLY WITH THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS I HAVE READ HERE. THIS SHOW STARTS STRONG AND FADES QUICKLY 2/3 OF THE WAY THROUGH. AND TALK ABOUT ENDINGS THAT STINK. IF YOU THOUGHT THE ANTI-CLIMATIC WAY THE FINAL EPISODE OF THE SOPRANOS ENDED- YOU WILL HATE THIS ENDING EQUALLY. WHEN YOU SEE A MOVIE FEATURING TOMMY LEE JONES, WOODY HARRELSON, AND ACTORS OF THEIR STATURE...YOU HAVE AN EXPECTATION. ADD TO THAT THE EXTRA $$$ SPENT ON BLU RAY FOR A MOVIE WITH ABSOLUTELY NO ACTION THAT BENEFITTED FROM THE HIGHER QUALITY AND YOU HAVE A BOMB. I WILL BE DROPPING THIS OFF AT THE LOCAL RECORD STORE FOR THE $3 OR $4 I CAN GET FOR IT.

What our customer's say!
"Deserves "0" Stars!", I totally agree with all the other 1 star reviewers. A total waste of time! Sitting thru 2 hours of violence and then "bingo" - NO ENDING! I should have known it was trash - after all it received the Academy Awards.... Enough said - don't waste YOUR time!
"Highly Distinct", PLOT: A major drug deal gone wrong in the Texas desert goes further awry when the money is recovered by a veteran-cum-local-trailer-inhabitant. The local sheriff tries to restore equilibrium to their picturesque homeland, yet ultimately realises he can no longer maintain a patriarchal influence over his people and their fates.
REVIEW: There is much to be praised in the Coen Brothers' second masterpiece, which is different but equal to Fargo (1996). There's the menacing but somehow profoundly moral bounty hunter, played ghoulishly but with a touch of humour by Javier Bardem; the flawless, effortless performance of Tommy Lee Jones as the sheriff; the incredible cinematography; and the overall poetry of the picture.
Yet the greatest achievement of No Country for Old Men is a spine-tingling, soul-destroying sequence in the middle of the film chronicling the events before and after local veteran Josh Brolin realises that the two million dollar suitcase he has recovered contains a tracking device. You could even ignore all other highlights and this sequence would still ensure the film's triumph.
ELEPHANT STAMPS: The Coen Brothers for Directing. Roger Deakins for Cinematography. Tommy Lee Jones for Acting. Javier Bardem for Acting. Josh Brolin for Acting.
"Looks Like There's a Consensus Here", Skimming through all of the other reviews, it appears that whether this movie is rated highly or not everyone agrees that it begins really strong but loses steam about 2/3 of the way through.
I enjoyed the film...but you can put me in that category as well.
The first half is some of the Coen Brothers' best filmmaking. The actors are particularly strong in their roles and the storytelling is lean and driven. Javier Bardem makes the movie, portraying the unstoppable "ghost" (not a literal one but something an old law man likens him to) always one step behind everyone...or ahead of them. Everyone else you get a good sense of, but this guy you'd like to see more of, like to try to understand more.
But the last section of the film isn't as tight and seamless as the first half. To open a story so well with so little exposition and dialogue, the filmmakers leave us with a unsensational downer ending that looks (sorry) sloppy and undeveloped.
Still, a great movie, but--in a weird way--like THE BIG LEBOWSKI: fascinating characters, excellent scenes, compellingly watchable...but uneven.
"Not the best from the Coens", The Coen brothers give us a cinematic bloodbath, but with a message- Old People don't like this sort of thing. People just don't have manners anymore. It used to be that when people killed people in movies, back in the good ol' days when old people were young, they got what was comin' to them. Now we live in a messed up world where serial killers murder people with compressed air canisters, and they don't feel sorry for it. The point of all this on-screen killing is for Old Man Sheriff (Tommy Lee Jones) to philosophize in barely decipherable mumblings how it's all gone down the toilet, and people weren't cruel to each other back in World War 2 and such. Was his character even necessary? He certainly didn't move the plot forward any. I guess the film needed a conscience. There are many similarities with this movie and Fargo. Except Fargo was better, and won less Oscars. "No Country.." was not the "best picture" from that year, though very few Oscar winners ever are.
"Horrible!!!", It's one of those "What the heck was that!!" movies. It was very good up until the end. 1st of all, I think Tommy Lee Jones' character was utterly useless. So was the deputy. My goodness what was the point. I won't spoil the movie, because I dislike when reviewers do that, but i will say that the end is extremely disatisfying.
The acting was excellent, in every way, but the character placement was very out of place. The ending is so utterly ridiculous that I got the sense that they ran out of ideas for an ending and decided to end it for the sake of doing so. I don't understand why movies like these are Oscar nomination worthy. I felt the same about American Beauty. What a waste of a nomination.
Still, I thought the acting and the story did provide a reason to watch. The ending is the reason I gave it only one star.

"Fail", Starts strong about 2/3 of the way thru it bombs. i was truly disappointed i had high hopes since all i heard was praises from critics. i am not sure what movie other people saw but this is not and award wining movie in my opinion.
"I don't get all the fuss.", To me the Coen brothers movies are hit or miss. Fargo is one of my all time favorite movies & Burn after Reading looks good. But The Ladykillers, O Brother where art thou and this.......? Fair play to them for making movies that they like - and rejecting criticism of the ending of this movie (see below) - and not pandering to Hollywood.......but by the same token if you're looking for Hollywood, stay clear.
This just didn't click for me. Josh Brolin was good, I could believe in him. Tommy Lee Jones was mostly good. I find him a one dimensional actor really so I wasn't that impressed. Woody Harrelson & Javier Bardem for me just didn't cut it. They were supposed to be bad guys but I just found them funny. Honestly, at times I couldn't tell if Bardem was playing it for laughs (was that the point?)
However the single biggest problem is the ending. It's awful. It's just like the Coen's got bored or thought "oh, we've only got 5 minutes to rap this up".
Truly disappointing. To me this is a clique movie - you can pretend you're hip and interesting if you say you like it. Not for me.
"There Are No Clean Getaways", The Coen Brothers have without a doubt created one of the best films of 2007. No Country For Old Men is one of those rare films that pulls its viewers in and makes them think about what they have seen when the film is over.
One of the questions I have about the film is into just what genre does it fall. It could be called a thriller, it could be called a modern western it may also fit as extremely dark comedy. The film has some of the best lines I have heard in a film in many years. If I had to place the film in a niche I would call it a reflection on the randomness of violence and its aftermath. The film is also an analysis on the new trends and types of violence that are emerging in modern America.
The film follows the arcs of its three main characters. Moss (Josh Brolin) is a welder and Vietnam veteren living in Texas who comes upon a grim crime scene in the desert involving a drug deal gone wrong. Anton Chirgurh (Javier Bardem) is a phychopathic killer after Moss to recover the money found at the crinme scene. Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) is an aging lawman who does not understand or like how the world is changing around him.
I will not go into details of the plot because this is one of thoses films that must be seen to be truly appreciated. It is enough to know that the Coen Brothers (working from their own adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy novel) twist the suspense to a level that Hitchcock would have been proud of. The cinematography by Roger Deakins shows off the Texas desrt perfectly.
The Bluray disc has very few special features. Included is a 24 minute making of feature and two shorter features dealing with working with the Coen Brothers.
This film should not be missed.
"A Great Movie That Is Ruined By Its Ending...", When I visited my local video store recently I was having a difficult time deciding on what movie I wished to see. Several new titles of interest had been released, yet I knew that there were still some from earlier in the year that I had yet to watch. This thought led to a new problem for me, choosing which not-so new release to pick up. After much internal debating with myself, I finally decided I wanted something that had some substance to it, and wasn't going to be a movie where I could just turn my brain off and watch it. I wanted a movie that was going to demand my attention, thus I decided I would pick the film chosen as Best Picture at this year's Academy Awards, the critically acclaimed "No Country for Old Men", written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen ("O Brother, Where Art Thou?").
"No Country for Old Men" follows an intense couple of days for a man named Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin), who happens to come across a drug deal gone bad and discovers for himself two million dollars in cash. However, taking the money may just prove to be the biggest mistake in his entire life. As a sadistic killer (Javier Bardem) is hot on his trail, and leaving a mess of dead bodies in his wake, the likes of which the local sheriff (Tommy Lee Jones) and the West Texas area has never seen.
If there's one thing I can say with the utmost certainty about "No Country for Old Men", it's that this is definitely one film that demands your attention, and if you get too distracted at any point you will quickly become lost in the intricately detailed story. With that in mind, even though I gave the movie my undivided attention, I still found myself somewhat confounded by the events in the closing moments of the movie. For roughly 85% of the film I was right there with it every step of the way, perfectly understanding everything, but in the final five to ten minutes it just got strange for me, and I didn't quite understand how it had ended. I do believe that I have a decent grasp on it now, having given more thought to the film and even re-watching the final moments, but even with my newfound understanding, it's still a strange and disappointing ending to what appeared to be a superb film.
That brings me to my problem with this film; I was really into the story and thought that perhaps this was going to be a movie that I would want in my collection, but the ending ruined it for me. For starters I'm somewhat surprised by the fact that I even remotely enjoyed "No Country for Old Men", because lately it seems that most Best Picture winners and nominees for the Oscars tend to be these high-brow dramas that don't appeal to me in the least, yet here was the most recent winner enthralling me with its excellent storytelling. I thought the many concepts that the film dealt with, such as fate and/or destiny (which the killer, Anton Chigurh, mentions to many of his victims), the depravity of society as reflected by the more sadistic killers being unleashed upon the world, or how pride always comes before a fall, were all very well presented and thought provoking. Yet, as great as the story was, the extremely unsatisfactory final act and resultant ending that left me puzzled, managed to bring the entire movie to its knees. I believe I am a smart man, and I can't remember the last time that I watched a movie that left me feeling so stupid because of my inability to grasp what I had just seen, but that's how this movie made me feel. I understand that the Coen brothers are extremely talented and smart writers, no argument there, but perhaps they could have rethought the final portion of this movie. Not necessarily changing all the events, but at least the final moments that confused me, and from what I've heard, it did the same for many other viewers as well.
As far as the acting goes every single performance was fantastic, not a single one felt out of place or off the mark in any way. Josh Brolin ("W.") convincingly portrays just a down-home, good ol' country boy who just so happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and allowed his pride to stand in the way of finding the means to save himself. Veteran actor Tommy Lee Jones once again portrays a law enforcement official, something he has done all too often since winning an Academy Award for "The Fugitive". At least in this movie Tommy didn't play the same old guy as he has so many times before. This time around he played an aging lawman who is struggling desperately to find relevance for his brand of justice in a world that has become so dark that it may have passed him by. Javier Bardem ("Vicky Cristina Barcelona") delivered a chilling performance as killer Anton Chigurh, a man who believes killing to be a perfectly natural solution to any problem, no matter who or what may be involved. Lastly, Woody Harrelson ("Semi-Pro") gives a surprisingly strong supporting performance as a man hired to track down Chigurh and stop him by any means necessary. I personally never thought Woody could act all that well, but he definitely brought his A-game to the table in this picture.
"No Country for Old Men" is one of those instances in movies where virtually every element works perfectly together to create an engrossing experience. From the superbly written screenplay, thought-provoking ideas and concepts, and excellent performances, this movie delivers in almost every way imaginable; however, the troublesome final act of the film brings the movie crashing down amidst a cacophony of confusion and disappointment. It's such an unfortunate fate for such a promising film.
"No Country for Old Men" is rated R for violence and language.
"I not a fan of gore but I loved this movie", I'm not saying this movie didn't have some rough scenes in it but they just didn't bother me and I'm the biggest wuss ever! I absolutely loved this movie. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and couldn't wait to see what happened next. There hasn't been a movie of this caliber in a long time for me. I plan on buying this movie to have in my collection. Fantastic, clever, superb story. Love it!!
