Watching the film from the POV of anyone other than Jones - the film's lead character - will make for an unrewarding watch. In that regard, its much-reviled ending provides a fitting resolution to the bleak portrait of a man coping with his own mortality amid irredeemable social decay. Fantastic work from one of my favourite directors.

No Country for Old Men isn't a thriller; it's a meditation on violence masquerading as one. Bardem is especially compelling as Chigurh, a remorseless killer who operates on his own inscrutable moral code. Just be prepared for a third act that veers unexpectedly into a reflection on the cruel machinations of fate and the inevitability of violence. One of the decade's best.

No Country for Old Men is a fantastic picture. It's script is a bit less colorful then the usual Coen Bros. films, but because of this films nature, it works extremely well. Right when I thought Tommy Lee Jones' career was finished, he stars in this film, and does an extremely good job at that, but Javier Bardem is absolutely incredible in this. The Coen Brothers created one of the greatest modern villains in cinema in Javier Bardem.

The perfect example of a story being carried by rich characters and the camera - and nothing else. No soundtrack and Javier Bardem's legendary villain doesn't utter many lines. The dry and unforgiving landscape of Texas provides an open range of unforgettable cinematography for this environmentally-driven thriller. TL Jones is the viewers' weary shepherd, an aging law-man who is struggling to keep up with the new and devastating type of criminal he's faced with. Some folks just can't be helped.

"Compared to what? The Bubonic Plague?" No Country is in many ways a re-framing of The Seventh Seal. Its the weary knight versus the pale spectre cloaked in black, a fatal game and a lethal farm tool. With this grim antagonist in tow the Coens dark-tinged rural humor often gives way to uncanny morbidity - I've always loved how Bardem's eyeline is slightly too high when he threatens Harrelson - a simple but unnerving effect.

Brilliant film and I can honestly say I think it's the Coen's best. Everyone in the film is fantastic, especially Javier Bardem who gives a performance so unsettling it rivals Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs. The entire film just unfolds. It flows together perfectly without the slightest hint of anything being forced. The way the film goes is exactly what had to be shown, just like how the film itself deals with the concept of fate. Brilliant movie, just brilliant.

Another excellent Coen Bros. movie, and their darkest that I've yet seen. They wisely allow character and plot to carry tension, and strip the movie bare of overblown scenes of action or a redundantly obvious musical score. It works perfectly, letting the tension and discomfort build up beneath the surface. Barden is one of the best villains in modern American movies: menacing, brooding, virtually unstoppable.

Wow. Finally got around to watching this after months of well-deserved hype. The film looks amazing. The Coen's are known for their extensive pre-film planning process and their attention to detail is on display in nearly every shot. The acting is superb. Bardem in particular shines as an unstoppable "force of nature" assassin who operates by his own twisted logic and sense of morality. It brims over with suspense, tension, and palpable dread. Plenty more I could say about this film. See it.

Now this is cinema. Pure brilliance. Edgy dialogues, fabulous photography, a Tommy Lee Jones narrator, Javier Bardem as the most unfashionable assasin in movie history, attention for detail, and a not too bad storyline. Give it an alternate ending and this is an instant classic, a movie which could even impress Hitchcock.

Arguably as interesting and enjoyable as it is unsatisfying. Everything about the movie except it's ending dragged me in and begged me to love it. But it does not deliver what the viewer wants in the end. Lacking some important moments, ripping off its burning fuse and preventing any climax, it gives you something interesting, however incomplete, but not what you want.

I'd say aside from the Big Lebowski, which is a completely different kind of movie, this is the Coen's best. One of the most suspenseful movies I've ever seen, and the entire thing is permeated by a kind of uneasy feeling (the complete lack of any musical score probably adds to this). Javier Bardem's character is absolutely terrifying. By the time this was over, I was exhausted. I know that sounds like a bad thing, but it's really not.

Even though the Coens have explored similar territory before, this is them at their best. The film asks questions about fate and choice, violence and time passing. Anton is an imtimidating force of nature and Jones plays the role he was meant to play, a retiring cop who begins and ends the story. It doesn't matter what happens to the money because what unfolds is bigger than mere financial gain.

The inevitable change that occurs in the world is a scary thing for the static at heart; No Country for Old Men thrives on that concept. This Action/Thriller/Drama is poetry on the big screen. The plot is compelling in that you sympathize with the protagonist, Lewllyn, and learn to despise the villain, Chigurh. The stoic Anton Chigurh is the definitive bad guy that you want in every film, but never get; such a performance would be too powerful in another movie. Great movie. Watch it.

An excellent deconstruction of the "psycho killer" thriller. Everything that is supposed to happen according to the thriller formula, doesn't. The acting performances are superb and the visuals are addictive. As a whole, the film has no flaws. However, it's not doing anything particularly new. Still, a masterpiece on its own terms.

A movie that gets better and better upon every watch. I can't praise the aesthetics enough. The cinematography lends it a great sense of location, the minimalistic use of music provides loads of tension, and most of the acting is pretty remarkable, especially from Bardem. I don't think I've ever seen the Coens so pessimistic, and the themes of circumstance, fate, and motivation are supported by a very thoughtful script, manifesting most obviously in Tommy Lee Jones.

A flawless examination of morality. You could hear a pin drop in the theatre, as every single audience member sat entranced, staring as the action unfolded and the tension rose higher and higher. The lack of music isn't even noticeable until you reflect on it afterward -- the movie doesn't *need* music. Bardem is chilling to legendary effect. The Coens' best drama, and an equal to their comedy masterpiece, The Big Lebowski. It's a scorcher.

Confident is the first word that comes to mind. Masterpiece is another. Javier Bardem's Anton Chigurh is the stuff of nightmares' nightmares. Staying nearly word-for-word faithful to Cormac McCarthy's novel, the Coens made a film that stands among, and, perhaps, atop their best, bringing their undercurrent of black humor to relieve the almost unbearable tension they can create. Easily one of the year's best.

This gritty mini-epic rumination on the nature of evil generates a nigh-unbearable tension and is a great example of the villain stealing the show out from everyone else. Anton Chigurh is one of cinema's finest evildoers.

On the pain of facing a world in which bad things happen, and always will; and how with the more you know, the more giving up can seem like best option. The bones are the bookends of Cormac McCarthy's poetic genius, while the meat is a negligible and visceral exhibition in cinematic craft. Most people chew up the meat and throw away the bones. You only have to think for like five minutes the entire movie, but it helps.

Just not seeing the "genius", "masterpiece", "year's best" plaudits that others are piling on this movie. It's interesting, certainly worth seeing, and has some snappy dialogue and good performances, but folks seem to be mistaking obtuse plotting and a failed ending for "depth" and "importance".

Every single person watching this was convinced they could get away with keeping that money. With everything turning out so badly, I'm glad it wasn't me. It did seem just a little to easy for the bad guy to track him down. Great cast. Josh Brolin & Woody Harrelson were great. Javier Bardem makes a great cartel fixer. Some very clever movie moments. Good suspense. It keeps you guessing and the anticipation is great.

The best McCarthy adaptation so far, this twist on good versus evil leaves one a bit unsettled and with some, unsatisfied. But satisfaction was never on the agenda (and usually isn't for McCarthy) so one must simply appreciate the sometimes simplistic, sometimes thoughtful grim beauty of it all.

Many have left poignant, insightful comments about this film's narrative in their mini reviews.

probably the best mccarthy adaptation out there, which isn't much of a stretch, as the book already reads like an elaborate screenplay and, well, the coens. then you got deakins' visuals nailing the books prosaic tone, yet capturing moments of inescapable beauty, just like mccarthy's writing. javier's screen presence oozes incalculable menace, brolin and jones are great tragic heroes, ill-equipped against the incomprehensible. it's bleak, it's bold, it's badass!

A superior thriller featuring two especially great performances, the first from Javier Bardem as quite possibly the greatest film serial killer or runner up behind Hopkins' Lecter. Second, the lesser-talked about Josh Brolin. Both these actors clash brilliantly as the Coen's deliver one hell of a suspenseful cat-and-mouse pursuit. My previous gripes on the ending stand minimal upon further review, and "No Country" truthfully stands as an engaging, violent masterwork for all involved.

No Country for Old Men takes place in the distant future when the human lifespan has increased to a ridiculous length. As a result, there are shortages of resources since there are more people existing at one time. After a lifetime of hard work and saving, old people are forced to leave or are murdered to make way for young people. After assembling an elderly army, the old people revolt and seek to designate a new country so that there would be a country for old men.

This movie left me completely awestruck at it's conclusion. It isn't really lacking in anything, even if I felt somewhat cheated at the lack of a climactic showdown initially (I've since gotten over that). Chigurh is an all-timer villain, Josh Brolin turns in a career defining performance, and Tommy Lee Jones proves he's still got something in the tank. The best movie of the decade, and does it with NO MUSIC. That still floors me.

When the lights came back on after No Country's conclusion, I looked around the theater in amusement. The people in the seats were looking dumbly at their spouses; nobody moved. Don't buy into the artsy people saying that No Country is a stroke of Genius--it's not. Don't believe that Bardem is one of the scariest killers in recent history--he's not. The first 90 minutes of No Country is fairly intriguing, but the last 30 minutes sucks swampwater.

A mixture between a western and crime epic, this film is a macabre work of art by the Coens. All individuals involved take it up a notch, but Bardem truly steals the film as an insane assassin with 'principles'. Bringing to mind echoes of Fargo and Blood Simple, this is one of the greatest films the Coens have done and one of the greatest films of the year.

"You don't have to do this, I'm a day trader, I could just go home. - You could?" This kind of humor is found throughout the entire film and is one of the many stamps the Coens have artfully placed on it, that I admirably recognize as the best in contemporary cinema. Aside from "A Clockwork Orange", this is the best film that delves into exactly what violence is, it's innate nature within all animals of the world, it's unobtrusive existence in all of us, it's inevitablity and unpredictability.

Unflinching. Scenes and events rarely play out as you'd expect them, and I love the movie for it. Bardem is great, and would easily crack my upper pantheon of best movie villains ever.

Well-done and fairly engaging (even the controversial ending wasn't that bad to me), but I was also disappointed by the emptiness of it. A lot of it is retreading the same ground covered in previous Coen works. Not that I mind people repeating themselves that much, but I didn't feel there was anything all that fresh or exciting going on here. I find this kind of nihilism a bit boring and old hat. I thought there ought to be more focus on Jones. He was the true soul of the story.

Possibly the most sinister 'antagonist' in film history, even more so than Hopkins incredible effort as Hannibal Lector. It has a unique mood and delves into the the concepts of fate, chance and fixed destiny and plays them off against each other (the coin toss). It doesn't matter where the money ends up or how Llewelyn died, the untimeliness of death is all that is left in the end. It's inescapable, no matter how precious or significant we feel that their motives, injustices and emotions are.

No Country is one of those odd movies where everyone saw the same thing and most people even thought the same things, yet everyone has different feelings about it.

I admit I am not a fan of the Coens, whose movies usually strike me as over-stylized, over-the-top and a bit too broad in their humor.

Strong performances, and that awesome silenced shotgun, make for a movie you don't want to end.

The Coens have created a world revolving around a sadistic yet interesting serial killer that captivates audiences.

I don't have any problem with some well scripted stories. But this movie was alright, nothing extraordinary. The suspense was well built and the natural sound score was quite menacing at times. The acting overrules other criticism.

While No Country soon settles into an excellent and interesting suspense thriller, a sudden twist to pacing and direction half way through the film makes for a captivating latter sequence. These two equally good halves give a chaotic and uplanned feeling but this is something which inevitably adds a kind of surreal realism to the film, enhancing the excellent direction. Barden makes a fantastic character and Brolin quickly forms an understanding with the viewer while Jones takes center stage.

No Country for Old Men is a film worth watching, but don't be surprised if it lets you down near the end. An incredibly important story shift isn't even shown on screen, but instead off-camera. I'm sure that scene and the ending were made just to generate more discussion on the story than there would be otherwise, but I find it in poor taste. Looking past the ending, the film is great. It's well acted, has great dialogue, and is shot wonderfully. Add in a better ending, and it is a superb film.
