Overall great movie but...

Rating: 8/10 (4 August 2013)

If you haven't seen "No Country For Old Men" don't read.
Overall "No Country For Old Men" met my expectations for the renown Cohen brothers. I could see this this film becoming one of the many instant classics that the Cohen brothers have to offer (such as Fargo, The Big Lebowski etc.) The dialog consists of many forms of symbolism and filled with many metaphors. the plot runs smoothly through 1980 Texas until the smooth flow of the plot came to an unnecessary halt when Antoine Chugure(Javiere Bordem) murdered Lewellen(Josh Brolin) whom is the protagonist an hour-and-a-half into the movie. I really appreciate the unique style of film-making the Cohen Brothers use such as "killing off the protagonist before the resolution of the movie, but in this case you don't even know that Lewellen is dead until fifteen minutes later when Lewellens wife pull up into the crime scene and see the police fishing Lewellens body out of the motel swimming pool. Maybe,twenty five minutes later Lewellens wife walks into the dark living room in her mother house only to find Chugure standing in the corner with the air compressor in which he uses to murder his victims as Lewellens wife is trying to persuade Chugere to not kill her, they pause for a second and you see Chugere walking down the wooden porch stairs and is walking across the street only to be hit by a car. moments later two kids check out the accident and to see if CHugere is OK; not knowing who Chugere is. Chugere then bribes the kids with a hundred dollar bill to not report anything they had seen. Then Chugere simply stands up and stumbles into the horizon to never be seen again. The next and final seen Tommy Lee Jones walks down his stairs to see his wife fixing breakfast and while she does Tommy Lee Jones recalls a dream he had the night before about him catching Chugere and the film ends in mid sentence. why I think the ending was unnecessary was because after all the excitement, and anxiety the film builds up suddenly drops down at a peak by not know if Chugere killed Lewellens wife or not and how the screen went black when Tommy Lee Jones was in Mid-sentence at a peak by Tommy Lee Jones Recalling his dream.
