Unaffected...

Rating: 9/10 (1 February 2008)

No country for old men currently has a very high rating. personally, I don't understand why so many people could give this film a 10/10. This movie has its effective moments, but they are simply not where they are supposed to be. I can tell you that at some moments, I felt what Llewelyn, but not when i should have. Chigurh is (as another put it) Death personified... this guy is terrifying, to say the least. he's the kinda guy that if he walks into your gas station, you want to close down so he can get the hell out of there without killing you first.
the problem with this movie is that it begins with a bore from tommy lee Jones, and ends with a bore from tommy lee Jones. however, we'll talk about the ending later.
the story line summed up is that a man named Chigurh is after a man named Llewelyn because Llewelyn found two million dollars a dead Mexican tried running away with as a drug deal went terribly bad. Llewelyn takes the money after leaving a Mexican completely on the brink of death to die in his truck. This is where the movie gets dumb. later that night, he decides to bring the (garenteed) dead Mexican about 2 gallons of water. and hey look at that! he's dead. shocker.
So Chigurh runs around killing people with a compressed air gun used to kill cattle jumping from car to car, killing dozens of people without so much of a peep from cops... with the exception of tommy lee who lugs his old wrinkly ass around whining about it.
Enter Woody. they introduce this character, as he makes NO sense. he apparently is also, another hit-man looking for the money. now, he is in about four scenes within the movie. one he's talking to some guy in an office. two he's talking to Llewelyn in a hospital bed. Three, he FINDS THE TWO MILLION DOLLARS AND LEAVES IT THERE. and four chigurh kills him randomly (big surprise) So how do you feel about spending an hour and a half watching Llewelyn for an hour and a half attempting to triumph over Chigurh and then, within about twelve seconds, you (the cameraman, and tommy lee) show up after a gun fight took place and you see Llewenlyn dead. never get to see how he died. Chigurh hides in that room as a paramedics and police run through a freaking hotel room clearing bodies, but no one seems to notice the nine foot seven guy with a silenced shotgun in his hand. Let's be serious, a toddler could've found Chigurh in there.
Chigurh then goes to Llewelyns wife and asks her to flip a coin to whether she lives or dies. she says no i refuse to, only you have the ability to choose, you don't have to do this. then he rants about "you don't have to do this" then it shows him on the front porch. did she die? probably, who knows.
He then drives down the street, and then gets in a really loud car crash. there is no meaning or purpose for this crash. the only reason why it was put in was a five minute warning (or wake up call) for all those that feel asleep to this boring, good for nothing movie. he walks away and tada! no one finds the nine foot seven guy all cut up and bleeding. what an expert hit-man huh? Then tommy lee sits down at a table and talks about his dreams. and then it ends. and then everyone throws their hands up in the air saying "WHAT THE ****!?" and then you ultimately leave your seat feeling robbed of your money, your time, and some brain cells.
This movie sucks. like i said, it has its effective moments where you feel for Llewelyn, but ultimately, you are left disappointed
