Simply amazing

Rating: 9/10 (10 July 2008)

After hearing many people rave about this movie I finally got a chance to see what the hype was about when I brought it on DVD. It would be fair to say I was not disappointed. Adapted from a Cormac McCarthy novel it tells the story of a man who stumbles upon a large amount of cash and how it starts off a chain of violence. Javier Bardem was outstanding as the uncompromising Anton Chigurh and Josh Brolin and Tommy Lee Jones provided great support. The movie moves at quite a stately pace but that works in its favour. There are many moments that disturb me, for instance in the last scene where Anton Chigurh kills Josh Brolin's wife just because he promised him he will kill her. I am not familiar with Coen Brothers work but I will definitely check out their work after seeing NCFOM. NCFOM is one of the best movies of last year and is worthy of it's hype.
