crime novel No Country For Old Men sees The Coen Brothers produce their finest thriller to date. Set amongst the wild empty and imposing landscape of 1980s Texas No Country For Old Men is a masterly tale of the good the deranged and the outright doomed. Approaching retirement Sheriff Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) is one of the last links to the history of Texas' Old West and the men who patrolled the frontiers of decency and lawlessness. These days though he feels less and less able to comprehend the new breed of violent criminals that have drifted into his jurisdiction. Violent men like Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem): an enigmatic psychopathic and obsessively compulsive killer who determines the fate of his victims with a quick flip of a coin. Chigurh an ex-special-forces operative turned hit man has been hired to track down two million dollars in cash taken from the scene of a drug-deal gone awry and whoever spirited it away. That man is Llewellyn Moss (Josh Brolin): a financially struggling hardened Vietnam veteran who stumbled upon the money and a substantial amount of heroin amongst a sea of bloody corpses and a bullet-strewn truck whilst hunting antelope in the desert near the Mexican border. McCarthy's melancholic and muscular prose is a perfect match for the Coen brothers' unique brand of poker-faced irony. The narrative ellipses entwine with the Coens' modern noir nonchalance and dark humour to highlight and explore the similarities and differences of Moss Chigurh and Bell as they try to track one another down. With dark intelligence and an unstoppable array of sly wit No Country For Old Men is reminiscent of Joel and Ethan Coen's early neo-noir motion picture Blood Simple and their much-lauded Academy Award winning Fargo and is a cat-and-mouse chase epic that engages and excites from beginning to end.

of heroin and more than million in cash. Taking the money out he knows will change everything. But only after two more men are murdered does a victim's burning car lead Sheriff Bell to the carnage out in the desert and he soon realizes that Moss and his young wife are in desperate need of protection. One party in the failed transaction hires an ex-Special Forces officer to defend his interests against a mesmerizing freelancer while on either side are men accustomed to spectacular violence and mayhem. The pursuit stretches along and across the border each participant seemingly determined to answer what one asks another: How does a man decide in what order to abandon his life? 'This is a monster of a book. Cormac McCarthy achieves monumental results by a kind of drip-by-drip process of ruthless simplicity. It will leave you panting and awestruck' - Sam Shepard.'Imagine the Coen brothers doing a self-conscious riff on Sam Peckinpah and filming a fast violent story about a stone-cold killer a small-town sheriff and an average Joe who stumbles across a leather case filled with more than million in hot drug money' - "International Herald Tribune". 'A profoundly disturbing and gorgeously rendered novel ...No Country for Old Men is a page-turner' - "Washington Post".

NoCountry for OldMen
There are no clean getaways!!
I have been wanting to see this movie ever since the Oscars at the beginning of this year. This film won four Academy Awards including best picture so I was very interested to see what it was like.
It is directed by the Coen brothers, Joel and Ethan who are themselves 4 time academy award winners so I knew that it would be different and hopefully good. The film came out in 2007 and was actually adapted from the novel of the same name by Cormac McCarthy.
The genre of this film is crime thriller. I would also say it is quite a physiological thriller as the drama was very nail biting, edge of your seat stuff. I have to say that if you are at all squeamish or jumpy do not watch this film as it was rather violent and in some places quite shockingly violent. After some ...

JC: Never mind. So, cowboys mean no dialogue, that cinematographer guy can make it all look good, Tommy Lee Jones holds it all together and the rest of the parts can be filled by gimps hanging around the studio.
EC: You've done Pulp Fiction.
JC: I just like saying 'gimps'. Why does the sheriff have to be old?
EC: That's kind of the hook. I'm going to call it 'NoCountry for OldMen' and the sheriff will mooch through the film bemoaning the fact that he can't relate to the modern criminal mind and the excessive yet pointless violence he continues to encounter.
JC: That sounds pretty lame.

Pure adrenaline! (The Times, 16/06/2008)

DVD Description
With NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, the Coen Brothers have found a perfect match in Pulitzer Prize-winning author Cormac McCarthy. Their adaptation of McCarthy's praised novel is a staggering masterpiece. In this almost impossibly faithful adaptation, the film takes place in a small Texas border town in 1980. Sheriff Bell (a never-been-better Tommy Lee Jones) has ruled the land for years without the use of a gun, but a new brand of reckless lawlessness has taken over his town. Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) is an innocent Everyman with a devoted wife, Carla Jean (Kelly Macdonald), but when he stumbles across a drug deal gone deadly and finds two million dollars, he's determined to keep it for himself. There's only one problem. He's being pursued by one of the most amoral, evil psychopaths that the big screen has ever seen. Wearing an absurd haircut and brandishing a pressurized weapon that's used to murder cattle, Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) creeps forward on his mission to track Moss down and return the money to its rightful owners to save his own skin. As the tension mounts, the body count begins to rise, confirming Sheriff Bell's inability to battle this new wave of modern brutality.
The most striking thing about the Coen Brothers' thriller is their masterly use of silence to create an almost unbearable level of tension. Cinematographer Roger Deakins is once again at the top of his game, beautifully capturing this stark and lonely world. The well-rounded cast is clearly excited to be a part of such a stellar production--particularly Bardem, whose Chigurh is a freakishly mysterious monster, and is certain to haunt viewers long after the final credit has rolled. In a career filled with striking achievements, this might very well be the Coen Brothers' finest. It is filmmaking at its best.
