"No Country For Old Men" :An excellent film for which Joel Coen and Ethan Coen reward actors Josh Brolin and Javier Bardem with best roles of their careers.

Rating: 10/10 (31 March 2010)

There are many viewers who tend to believe that Coen brothers enjoy making light,enjoyable thrillers which are easy to comprehend by all and sundry as their humane protagonists hover around seemingly tolerable lines of good and evil.However,this is not at all true about their latest film "No Country for Old Men" as they have made a brilliant film in which an apparent simple cat and mouse chase becomes a ticklish affair for everybody involved in it.This film is able to strike a pleasant chord in viewers' hearts and minds as Coen Brothers make people believe that they are going to see something extraordinary as this particular film's emotional as well as philosophical dimensions are almost matchless.It is sad to state but many a viewer might be tempted to comment that superb acting talent of great American actor Tommy Lee Jones is not properly utilized.He has been given an extremely odd role where he looks very old,tired and completely depleted of energy.One would also not fail to remark that as usual,Coen brothers have given actress Kelly MacDonald a secondary role which would enable her to join the list of weak women characters in their films.Fargo is the only exception to this rule as it featured an extremely strong woman character.After having watched "No Country For Old Men",film critic/Senior French translator/interpreter Lalit Rao joined that famous league of extraordinary cinema admirers who have all been part of a hallucinatory experience called cinema as nights have a very special meaning in "No Country For Old Men".
