![No Country for Old Men [Blu-ray] - Picture 1 of 1](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/wxkAAOxyuPtQ9x8S/s-l500.jpg)
As for the plot, one guy was fortunate enough to find a pack full of money in the middle of a battlefield and take it, but unfortunate enough to realize later that he was messing with the wrong people. This was a good starter and, until the middle of the movie, things were going pretty interesting and I felt very attached to the history. Blood and shooting everywhere and everytime driven by the Chigurh-Moss chase. A real and enjoyable countryside thriller. Then, the conclusion: Moss was killed, Chigurh got hit by a car bump and just walks away (apparently not being busted) and the sheriff, once eager for catching the murderer, ended up sitting, reflecting about life and the past. If there's a subtle message in the end of the movie, I don't really know, but I have to confess that this finale has not made much of a sense to me. Although I found the end confusing, this movie is good in the general sense and rescues the idea that low or middle budget movies can be as interesting and entertaining as pricey ones. I also liked the production: more images and action than dialogue, a lot of suspense and not much music running in the background. Suspense scenes are better when there is no or just a little sound with it.Read full review
I can say that it was a different movie then what has been out there. The acting was, of course, wonderful. Some major surprises and some moments I really could not follow. Taught about morals and greed and a couple others. The one actor who was the pyscho path was amazing. He was so weird and disturbing, he played his role perfect. He even had his weird morals. Intense movie, so cant really be in the middle of something you when watch. All in all we were satisfied. It was ok, for me, but great story and acting.
justifialbly the best picture of the year and arguably the best from the coen brothers. they stayed true to renown author Cormac McCarthy's book while making very solid cinematic sequences that kept you on the edge of your seat the whole time. the script was taken straight out of the book which is why it ended so abruptly which annoyed some audiences who "didnt get it" only because they dont like to think too hard about movies. if you're looking for a bruce willis flick with punchline dialogue and cool stunts and a satisfying ending then you might want to stay away from this film. the coens have made a masterpiece out of the well trodden genre of crime/thriller movies by taking the best out of Cormac McCarthy's book and making it into an electrifying and disturbing film that will haunt you for days. Tommy Lee Jones character is the main premise for the movie and his performance is spot on. Javier Bardem's bad guy, Anton Chigurh, is the one most audiences will remember but i think it is the good sheriff who in the end is visibly shaken from his near death encounter with Chigurh that makes the most impact with me. for those of you out there who hold dangerous jobs you kinda know almost exactly how he feels and why he had to quit. the movie is of course a bit more than that and has more to do with the undesirable consequences of greed and violence.Read full review
I love this Blu-ray version of No Country For Old Men, I must have viewed it 15 times! Javier Bardem is an excellent actor from Spain,and a bit out of his usual character-type (as in Love in the Time of Cholera, where he plays a playboy lovesick philanderer), does a superb job of doing the job of portraying psychopathic killer, Anton Chigur, who, by my count, kills 9 in the movie. Josh Brolin, husband in real life of Diane Lane, sex-kitten of the silver screen, plays Llewellin Moss, who happens upon 2 million dollars in hundred dollar packs, stashed in a satchel and left in the desert after a Mexican drug deal went bad. He is pursued throughout the film for the money by the relentless Chigur, and finally meets his end without any justice, by a gang of Mexican bandits, and, in fact, even Anton Chigur, the killer, never gets any of the 2 million. This Academy award and Caan Film Festival winner for 2007, is an excellent movie directed by the celbrated and perfectionist Coen Brothers, and in Blu-ray proves well worth the higher pricetag.Read full review
When watching the oscars this year I noticed this title pop up for a lot of nominations. At the time I felt like they should give someone else a chance. When it won best picture, I figured it was worth a shot. It starts with Josh Brolin hunting in the desert in Texas not getting any game. Soon he discovers that something has happened upon the trail in which he has traveled, and upon that trail lies many dead bodies and two million dollars. As any intelligent person would he takes the money and leaves the scene with one man still alive but close to dead. His conscience gets the best of him and he goes back out there to see the one survivor to see what has happened and just how much danger he may have endured, but the man is gone, and there are people already hunting him. I must say that Javier Bardem's turn as the vicious killer in this movie is incredible, even the haircut is scary. Every time I saw him you were on the edge of your seat curious of what was going to happen. He definitly earned the oscar for this one. The movie is very believable with many actual Texans playing parts in the movie. Josh Brolin remains a very simple person, without much extravagance, keeping his safety knowing he has a wife at home. I saw it right before it left the theater and then purchased it on blu ray. If you havent seen it yet I definitly would say it is worth it. I am not usually a fan of violence, but this tells a story, sticks to it, and shows just what can happen when the love of money consumes you.Read full review
