No Country For Old Men, Understated and Intense Classic

Rating: 8/10 (21 January 2019)

I think No Country For Old Men is one of the better films by the Coen Bros. The performance by Javier Bardem is genuinely terrifying as the villain. Josh Brolin pulls off a pretty understated, intense performance as well as the man who finds a bag full of cash and doesn't won't give the money back. The film had me pulled in from beginning to end. There are a lot of good twists, and I find that the film is a mix of thriller and western in a pretty excellent way. The only beef I had with the movie was the ending was a bit awkward, but that doesn't hurt the film's overall quality in my opinion. Definitely a movie to check out if you like the Coen films or thrillers in general. A classic of its type. 8/10.
