gripping

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2007)

"No country for old men" is quite possible the most gripping movie i have ever seen. It takes what is a fairly simple story and through the complexities of Chigurh and the sheriff makes it deep and fascinating. Bardem absolutely deserves an Oscar for Chigurh. What makes the movie so appealing is that it doesn't sacrifice it's suspense and action to be deep, and as a result you don't want to look away, and throughout the movie you continually wish there was still at least another hour left. It isn't a crappy thriller where the action is the only thing that keeps you watching, or a horror movie where you want to look away but cant. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen and i can't stop thinking about this movie.
