"You cant stop what's coming..."

Rating: 10/10 (12 April 2018)

Dont read my review. Just watch it. You know, some masterpieces you just gotta experience yourself. This is such a masterpiece...
The fact that you are reading this review is really a sign that you dont know who the Coen Brothers are. Because WHEN you would have known the Coen Brothers, you would have seen EVERYTHING they made already and you wouldnt be reading these reviews. The Coen Brothers didnt exclusively made classics, some of their farcical comedies are flops. But ALL of their drama/thrillers are definitely worth watching. This one though reaches movie heaven. "No Country for Old Men" has been awarded with multiple oscars and an abundance of other awards worldwide. This movie is truly a modern classic of the highest order, equalling the brilliance of their earlier work like "Blood Simple", and "Barton Fink".
The story in a nutshell: a hit man (Javier Bardem) goes on a killing spree in order to find a lost bag loaded with drug money, which was accidentally found by Josh Brolin, who plays a trailer trash redneck. The extremely suspenseful pursuit by the hit man is what the story is about. Tommy Lee Jones plays the sherrif who investigates the killing spree that comes along with this suspenseful pursuit of the money bag.
This is NOT a mindless funny action popcornmovie. Please stay away from it if you are only into mindless entertainment. Or do watch it and get pummeled by the psychotic mood that prevails in this classic. It killed any happy mood I had, after I had watched it for the first time. But it did so in a way that is brilliant. As brilliant as the Coen Brothers can be!
No one besides the Coen Brothers themselves have this extraordinory talent to make a scene interpretable in different ways. In many scenes it aint certain if one should laugh or cringe with fear. These twin director brothers have perfected a style in which they walk a tightrope between black humor and sheer psychotic suspense. Spooky note: actor Woody Harrelson's father (in real life) was a contract killer for a drugslord. Since this movie is all about contract killing, this biography fact is spooky and chilling since Woody Harrelson is pursuing a contract killer in this movie.
Everything and I mean really everything is perfected in this movie. From acting, to photography and editing. And the story and dialogues are just way of the charts, way outhere. Those dialogues in some scenes are without a doubt the most thought provoking and eery dialogues I have heard in a long time.
Seen it over 10 times and I am still in awe of it every time. I can still remember so vividly HOW I felt the very first time I saw it. Because I was left with a very UNcomfortable feeling afterwards. I felt lost and bleak inside. And those feelings got stuck inside me for hours after seeing it. Many questions lingered through my mind afterwards. I was disoriented and confused about what I had just seen. I honestly believe this is one of the best Coen Brother films ever made. And it is one of my most favorite movies amongst ALL movies ever made in my personal life up untill now...
