No Country for Old Men
As a lifelong Texas resident, I found that the use of actual Texans (you can't find actors like this--see the movie and you'll know what I mean) in many small roles added authenticity that is rare in Hollywood. The movie's graphic violence and creepy villain (Javier Bardem, who won the Oscar for this role) make the movie difficult to watch for some viewers. It is also typical of the Cohen Brothers (Fargo, Lone Star) in that it has quirky scenes and loose ends that end up distracting from the central plot, but if you enjoy powerful performances and unusual and colorful characters, this is a must-see.

i don't care what anyone thinks of this movie
this is simply the most stunning movie i've ever seen and that's saying a lot. i am not one to like gratuitous violence. however, the violence in this movie serves to show the lack of any compassion or sanity of the main "bad guy". i'm dumbfounded as to how masterful this movie is. it is a great movie full of intense suspense and a expert telling of a story among an "average" man, a very good and honest man, and a man with absolutely no humanity in him.

people who whine about the violence are sadly and scarily missing the vast amount of intelligence and thoughtfulness in this spectacular masterpiece. i thought the coens couldn't beat some of their past masterpieces, but this is fargo X 1000.

i have no more superlatives to give. i didn't expect to like this movie and thought it would be over-hyped tripe. it wasn't. let go of any closed-minded aversion to something that isn't all "perfume and roses" and watch a movie that will just change your outlook on movies. this is something special.

wow.

No Country For Old Men
Dark, yet very interesting film by the Coen brothers. This film will have you at the edge of your seat. Wonderful group of actors. After I saw this film in the theater, I knew I had to own it. One of my top 25 film favorites of all time.

Better every time I watch it
I first got into the Coen brothers when I watched Fargo. Fargo is still one of my all-time favorite movies, but No Country is up there now, too. I first saw No Country in the theater. I liked it, but didn't plan to buy it or watch it again for awhile. I don't know what happened, but the more I thought about it the more I wanted to buy it when it came out on DVD. So I did. And every time I watch it it's just better and better.

While Fargo has a humorous side that keeps the edge off, No Country does not. It is dark, serious, and heavy. But it is so finely crafted, such a joy to behold, and so well-acted that it keeps you into it. I'll be honest, though - I've seen some other Coen brothers films like Miller's Crossing and Barton Fink and I personally don't think that they are masters of character development and drawing the audience into the story and into caring about the characters. There always seems to be some detachment. I think it is because of the artistic quality. Their movies, especially No Country, are so finely crafted from a technical and cinematography viewpoint that I think something of the human quality gets lost.

But, that's a minor point, and if you want that kind of movie, go see another director's work. No Country is amazing. It's well worth it.
