Synopsis

Joel and Ethan Coen's critically-acclaimed adaptation of Cormac McCarthy''s novel, starring Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, persistent violence, and a cryptic climax. Set in West Texas in 1980, a hunter (Brolin) comes across a drug deal gone bad and a briefcase full of money. Greedily making off with the dough, he becomes the target of one of the screen''s most memorable hitmen to date, a straight-faced, looming Bardem topped with a silly haircut. In trying to keep step with the assassin''s pursuit, the local sheriff (Jones) is forced to reevaluate his own mortality. A return of sorts to Blood Simple and Fargo, the Coen''s have instilled a menacing bran d of humor in this nearly perfect genre film. Winner of Academy Awards for best motion picture, directing, supporting actor, and adapted screenplay. Ethan Coen/Joel Coen---USA---2007---122 mins.

No Country for Old Men wasn\'t what I expected. It was much more straight forward than many of the Coen Brothers films, and I\\\\\\\'ve seen all but one. Clean is the word that comes to mind. Not in content, but technically. It seemed to lack the signature \\\\\\\'over-the-top\\\\\\\' Coen characters. None of these are a bad things, just observations on my part. Like other moviegoers I let forth an audible \"HUH?\" at the end, but that\\\\\\\'s not meant negatively either. I thought ALL the performances were outstanding. I would go out on a limb and say this is probably a text book perfect film, or an example of perfect filmmaking, but like many great technical achievements it seems to lack soul. This film is hard to take in at one sitting and probably requires a few viewings to really \\\\\\\'get\\\\\\\' it.
