No country for old men is a thriller in which a hunter Llewelyn moss, played by Josh brolin, stumbles upon more than 2 million dollars in cash. He finds this money near a deserted place where some drug deal went wrong. He is then followed by some people speaking Spanish, who are drug dealers as well as by a psychopath Anton Chigurh, played by Javier Bardem. The Spanish people want the money from Llewelyn. Anton chigurh was hired by some other drug dealers to get the cash.
What ensues is a chase between Llewelyn and Chigurh. Chigurh is a psychopath with principles which he abides by strictly. He has really terrified me. I read some other reviews in IMDb in which the users compared him with Hanibal lecter from The silence of the lambs. Well, chigurh has terrified me more than Lecter. At least, Lecter was in a cage. Chigurh is loose. He does not move an inch from his principles and if he had decided upon killing someone, he would definitely do it no matter what happens after that.
Some of the scenes in this movie are really very suspenseful. I was really sitting very still during those scenes. These scenes are not at all loud. There are no car chases or high octane action scenes in which there is kicking and punching. But I am sure these scenes would surely make you hold your breath. Besides, I also found that this movie has very little of background music which makes it all the more beautiful. It really gives a great deal of intensity to the scenes. Some of the scenes just made me jump in my seat.
The story takes place in Texas. There are many scenes which showcase the barren desert. Well, for some strange reason I like those movies in which there are scenes of barren deserts. Also I tend to like films with less background music. I liked this movie for its presentation style.
I think the story is good. What I didn't like is its ending. I hoped that Chigurh would get killed or caught. But, he didn't. Also, I didn't understand why Tommy lee jones quit his job. I think that the story is very good until Llewelyn dies. After that I think it fizzles out. Too much attention was given to Tommy lee jones after Llewelyn dies.
I liked it because of its unique style of film making. If you want to see a great thriller with a realistic story/ending, then do see this one.
