NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN MOVIE REVIEW


This is a great film. Let me just say first that it's beautiful. I haven't seen a movie shot this beautifully for years. Javier Bardem has been in lots of movies overseas but this is his greatest role yet. The world's greatest sociopath right up there with Hannibal Lecther. He is such a cold blooded killler and so terrifying that you can't stop watching the screen for a second. What's his next move? Is he around the corner? Outside the door? The only thing that is half as compelling is that Josh Brolin's character isn't afraid at all. He actually confronts and challenges the badass. What balls. Holy crap. This Goodfellas, The Godafther and Scarface combined and made by the wacky Cohen brothers. One of the greatest thrillers of all time.
For all you kids who think that the ending is "dissapointing", you're an idiot. Not every movie has a neat happy ending. Thank god for that. -The Dude.
