i consider no country for old men to be the best movie with the worst ending ever.

SPOILERS






i would have rather seen a final showdown between the two than have the main protagonist killed randomly.. they didn't even show him get killed. i like that the bad guy got away and all.. but they screwed over lewelyn

Edited: right-track

That was my gripe too, but it was later explained to me that that's what the book is like, it's focused more on the musings of the sheriff. So in the book, that part is less abrupt.



Not as good as I'd hoped it would be. I was much more moved by The sea within by Alejandro Amenabar. Still, it's a good watch. Maybe it would have been a different experience had I known it's based on a real person. :\
7/10

Considering I am a child of the 80's, I always missed out on this film. Until tonight. Some nice moments but overall disappointment. If I had watched it when it had came out then I would have loved it I think.



This has been sitting on my shelves for a months now and I could kick myself for not watching it sooner. I love Michael Mann and this shot on HD movie did not disappoint. He is one of the very best visual stylists working in Hollywood today. he has a great ear for music in his movies too.

I hate to use this term, but that would be a typical Hollywood ending that would not work with this film, or with the Coens. The sheriff's end musings are metaphors for his life and while the film doesn't center on him as much as it should have to make those make sense, it still works well.

the movie and the book are called No Country For OLD MEN, not No country for Josh Brolin. Sheriff Bell is the main character and both pieces of material are about the nature of violence in an increasingly changeing world. Life and violence behave arbitrarily and so the book and film depict that accurately.

Brolin meets his demise because of the satchel of money, regardless of who dispatches him in the end, but since none of the characters that are actually in pursuit witness his end neither do we as the audience.

9.8/10
