Way better than Blood Simple

Rating: Null/10 (18 October 2011)

"No Country for Old Men" is based on the novel by Cormac McCarthy and made by the Coen Brothers.
Llewelyn Moss, a hunter, discovers the carnage of a drug runner gun fight that went wrong. Instead of calling the cops, he steals a suitcase with two million dollars. Soon a psycho gun for hire named Anton is following him to get back the money. Moss outwits him for most of the movie, but then in a very anti-climactic way, gets killed by Anton in a seedy motel.
At the same time, Sheriff Bell, played by Tommy Lee Jones, is investigating the crimes. He tries to get to Moss before anything worse happens. Of course, he's too late. I haven't been this scared by a Coen bros movie since Blood Simple. This movie is one of the best they've done in a while, combining Hitchcock-like suspense with dazzling gunfights and special effect. The resulting movie is quite good, all while being very off the beaten path while still being highly entertaining. 9/10
