This has to be, without a doubt, one of the best films of 2007. The Coen Brothers have again made their talent for film-making shine through this film. From the moment it starts to it's abrupt yet defining end, No Country For Old Men is a true masterpiece of a movie that should not be missed.
I can say for a start that it wasn't quite what I had expected it to be. I knew little about the plot and tried to keep an open mind while walking into the cinema, which was probably the best thing to be doing. It surprised me, but in the best possible way. From the little I knew, I thought it would be perhaps more of a drama film. Instead, it came out to me as a very well done thriller. There was also more violence than I expected, and it wasn't just it being bloody, but everything seemed very sudden. I saw these things as compliments to the movie, for I felt that without them it wouldn't have been the multi-award winning, brilliant film that it is.
Tommy Lee Jones was in the film for quite a bit less than I was expecting him to. Even so, his performance while on the screen was near perfection. Javier Bardem was... well, I can say that he 100% deserved that Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. He created a terrifying and fearless character, his performance in this film is sure to be remembered. Josh Brolin was also another stand-out performance, as was all of the acting.
This is a must see movie that I strongly recommend anyone and everyone to see.
