Moody and brilliant

Rating: 9/10 (31 January 2008)

I have loved many of the Coen Brothers films like Fargo, The Big Lebowski, and so on. They have made some disappointing films as well, but No Country for Old Men just might be their best film to date. The performances were all outstanding, the photography was excellent as was the script. Everyone felt completely authentic in their parts - even Brolin who I have not seen in many films. I was surprised at the lack of music in the film and the ending was expected since everyone had warned me about it. I very much felt as if the Coen Brothers had taken me to a new land and time, which is such a rare thing in cinema these days. I will look forward to the DVD with their commentary on it.
