An excellent movie, full of suspense and action. Lots of blood, death, a great story, excellent cast and acting. I really enjoyed watching this movie, and was disappointed I had to pause it to go to work, but I resumed watching it as soon as I got home. Definitely a movie I will want to watch again.
This is a great movie. It is visually satisfying, and the characters are all very interesting. The viewer will really get caught up in the intensity and suspense throughout the film. Each time I have watched this film, I have felt the same way each and every time. A truly satisfying movie.

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 vet who could use 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 vet, 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 conscience, 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
“This is a great movie. It is visually satisfying, and the characters are all very interesting. The viewer will really get caught up in the intensity and suspense throughout the film. Each time I have watched this film, I have felt the same way each and every time. A truly satisfying movie. This is not a spoiler: The ending has left some people with a bad taste in their mouth but do not let that take anything away from the film. Although some may feel there are slow points in the film, I feel that it is engaging and interesting all through out. I say that because the body language from the actors and the scenery add to the movie. Not much needs to be said at certain points in the film for you to get the message the filmmakers wanted to convey. Great performances from the actors.” read more
"Labeled Under: Abrupt
Why: (Note: I should have watched the movie a second time. I may have missed overlooked key scenes.) The point of the car wreck and him just walking off? I am assuming that he killed the lady b/c he checked his shoes for blood.
I will watch it again so it do not get death treats."
