Violence and mayhem ensue after a hunter stumbles upon some dead bodies, a stash of heroin and more than $2 million in cash near the Rio Grande. With Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin & Woody Harrelson. Can I please see a movie where Mr Jones is NOT chasing someone! lol Not a bad flick until the end. Now in my top 5 for WORST endings I have ever seen. My score would be higher if not for the ending but I'll still give it a generous 6. Ken

Thing is, IMDB, and I do take into account what imdb says, well it's got it in the top 250, in fact right now it's at 31, that is side by side with Fight Club, Se7en and other greats.

I somewhat think, it will be a masterpiece, everything I've, everything everyone has told me is making me almost pi** myself with excitement.

This movie was fantastic. Not only was there great acting, action and dialogue but the Coen Brothers just knocked this one out of the park. I can't think of every movie this past year but this may have been my favorite. Maybe The Bourne Ultimatum would be up there too but it would be close.

Amazing, an amazing movie, which finished with me wanting more. Tommy Lee Jones yet again without doing too much was a big factor in it being such a top notch movie. The villain was a true villain in every sense of the word and sent shudders through me. I have to research on this type of killing, because it looked horrible.

All round a great movie. Unlike others I hold it on par with the Ultimatum for this year.

No Country for Old Men

Don't put it in your pocket, sir. Don't put it in your pocket. It's your lucky quarter.

This in my opinion overtakes the hype this movie has generated, before watching this movie I read only one review and just heard from people how AWESOME this movie was, once I heard that and read what it was about I refused to look at any comments on the movie, if I saw an image from the movie I'd look away, I didn't want ANYTHING to spoil this movie, I really wanted to enjoy it. So I was sheltered from the ridiculous accusations that the films ending was bad. I assure you, it is not bad, it is GREAT. As long as you pay attention to the movie instead of your phone or the delicious looking food your friend has decided to unload his wallet to get.

There is absolutely no denying it that the Coen Brothers are geniuses, the plot seems to follow a similar fashion as their others, someones finds/plans something and then **** really hits the fan. But this one beats all their past achievements. Quite a lot of people praise Fargo, which to be honest in my opinion is overrated, but it isn't bad, I see what people like about it, but it just felt like nothing amazing, but anyway I'm being sidetracked. I haven't read the original book, No Country for Old Men, but I have heard a lot of what is in the book is word for word in the movie, as well as the movie leaves some things out, which makes me sad they didn't keep them in. If they kept some of the things from the book in the movie than I think this movie would have an even larger fan base because then the people who go to movies just to focus their eyes on something can understand the seemingly simple ending, but writing in this movie was AMAZING, Anton was too cool of a character . The Coen brothers really hit the jackpot here, making an absolute MASTERPIECE. This has made me a huge fan and I cannot look more forward to their future movies.


Javier Bardem plays Anton the ruthless man hunting Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin). Anton was EASILY the best character in this movie, the way he talked was intelligent and amazing. He was just a tough guy, he had brain as well. And there is no denying the two weapons he used were just so cool. A silenced rifle (so I assume judging from the amount bullet holes it left) and.. well a oxygen tank? Was that what it was? Who knows, it was amazing. As well, he turn coin tossing (in movies) from a lame thing Tommy Lee Jones showed in the Batman he was in into something cool, that has left me repeating "Call it, CALL IT" in my head since watching the movie.


Josh Brolin plays Llewelyn Moss, the man who stumbles among 2 million dollars, the focus of the story. He too was quite a smart chap which is shown in many different ways, he doesn't weild any amazing weapons, but he is as badass as Anton, his character was very well presented in this movie, and Josh Brolin shows us he is very talented, as well, I think this may be the movie that really makes him into a somebody. I sure hope it does.

Woody Harrelson quite suprised me in this film, in other films I have REALLY disliked him. But in this, his character was cool, and he actually acted well. Tommy Lee Jones did a VERY GOOD job, but I expected no less, I am a fan of Jones, and his performance in The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada was what mainly got me hyped for this terrific film.

There is NO denying it the cinemtagrophy was absolutely amazing, the locations were beautiful. Another key thing that helped bring a good feel to the film.

The ending, now this has been bombarded with bad comments, but as I said, pay attention and you will not have a problem. I'll some this up short, this movie was VERY GOOD pretty damn close to perfect, surpassed my expectations. 9/10

I'm a little less enthusiastic about this movie than are a lot of people, but it's certainly a well-made film.
