Excellent intrigue and suspense

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2008)

The film opens with Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) reminiscing about how things eventual change. Llewelyn Moss (played by Josh Brolin) is hunting dear in the Rio Grande open desert West Texas country in the USA when he comes across several; vehicles and several bodies of heavily armed Mexicans in what appears to be a massive drug deal that has gone wrong as one of the vehicles contains a huge load of cocaine. Near the massacre scene he also finds a large amount of money and takes home to his trailer trash home and does not tell his trailer trash wife the details.
Unfortunately for Llewelyn several parties realize he took the money and come after him. Ed Tom Bell eventually discovers Llewelyns position and desperately seeks him as he also knows that several parties are gunning for him. The most dangerous of all the hunters of Llewelyn is Anton Chigurh (played by Javier Bardem) he is a very powerful manic hunter with a weird philosophy about coins.
The Coen brothers have come up with an masterpiece of action and suspense and unexpected consequences. Definitely worth seeing but disturbing violence.
A great film that explores hunting from animals to humans.
