This is The Most The Coen Brothers Ever Gained On A Coin Toss

Rating: 10/10 (1 October 2016)

I've never been the biggest fan of Joel and Ethan Coen when it comes to comedies I don't like their sense of humour and style but when they go dark and gritty they are amazing and No Country For Old Men is proof of this because this is one of my all time favourite movies. One reason this works for me as a Coen brothers movie is its relatively simple story a cat and mouse chase between a merciless assassin and a former Vietnam War Veteran with over 2 Million Dollars in stolen drug money. This creates for a constant sense of tension and bleakness that keeps me riveted every time I watch this movie and a lot of this can be attributed to Javier Bardems incredible, Oscar Winning Performance as the film antagonist Anton Chigurh. He just perfectly captures his characters mysterious and terrifying qualities that just get the audience begging for him to get back on screen and this truly is one of the greatest performances ever given in a movie. Thought Bardem steals this movie that does not take away from both Josh Brolin and Tommy Lee Jones. I Legitimately could not imagine anyone else playing Llewelyn Moss, Brolin is perfect in this movie he just gets the characters he's playing, portraying him as a morally schizophrenic character who you can never lock down as a person. The action scenes are few in this film but that works here as it makes them more satisfying named more real adding to the constant sense of tension. I can't quite explain why but I love the fact that this movie has no score it just works for this and couldn't imagine them doing it any other way. The cinematography of course is stunning but you can expect nothing less from Roger Deakins. The Coen Brothers best film truly did win at the Oscars it's truly one of the best pictures to win best picture and it's and incredible ride that makes me wish that The Coen Brothers would reach this quality more often. 100%-A+
