Wow!
Another winner for Tommy Lee Jones ... what a marvelous actor ... the quintessential Texas sheriff ... cagey, laidback, full of stories.
And an entire cast, but especially Javier Bardem - one of the most chilling characters I've ever seen - cold, calculating and insane - deciding the fate of some victims with the flip of a coin.
Josh Brolin, incredible performance - a cowboy, who finds a 2 mil stash of drug money, is discovered and pursued by Javier Bardem ... the bodies fall everywhere.
Tommy Lee Jones, nearing retirement, chats with another aging lawman - who can understand the time drugs and money? "No Country for Old Men" - from Yeats' poem "Sailing to Byzantium."
Intense, with so many twists and turns, yet a clear story-line. Music, cinematography ... someone said to me, "a perfect movie," and I agree.
The ending, like life, has no ending ... things just go on ... good and evil ...
Miramax and Paramount Vantage ... and hats off to the Coen Brothers - keep up the good work.
