One of the best Coen films to date

Rating: 9/10 (18 March 2016)

It's hard to beat such a genius duo like the Coen Brothers, and this film really solidifies that fact. Next to Inside Llewyn Davis, No Country for Old Men is possibly my favourite Coen brothers film to date.
Now to give a little context on the Coens, they've made some great films, and they've made some not so great films *cough* *cough* Ladykillers *cough* *cough*. And No Country is one of the best. But, No Country is the most drastically separate film in the entire filmography, if you are not familiar with the Coens and want to start someone then I highly suggest checking something else out first.
The impressive use of little to no music combined with some of the most intense action scenes is more than enough proof that this film was nothing short of genius. Sounds such as shells from shotguns hitting the floor, the whistle of the wind through the leaves of a tree, the shutting of a door becomes the music.
All of the acting is fantastic. Josh Brolin and Javier Bardem are two of the most watchable enemy duos cinema has ever given us. The pacing is also fantastic; many people say that the lack of music rendered the film somewhat boring, but I'd say it made it all the more thrilling.
The Coens and Roger Deakins are also two of the best cinematic duos working today. In all fairness this whole film was just a film showing off some of the best cinematic duos.
aside from a few noticeable dubs this film was practically flawless and I highly recommend checking this film out as soon as you can.
