Cohen's masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (30 April 2008)

First Time I Saw this film I thought it was very good and deserving of every accolade it was getting. The second time i watched this film I realized how much of a masterpiece it is. No Country For Old Men Has the feeling of suspense like Hitchcock's best films combined with the signature Cormac McCarthy feel of a western and the Coens sense of wierdom. Javier Bardem is great as antoine sigur, proving he is one of the best actors alive and I can't wait too see Biutiful. This is the Coens most serious film besides Blood Simple. They have a great body of work though so it is hard too say. And there work is so varied so most people I know have a different favorite film of their's then the other. I personally love Barton Fink, my therapist loves Blood Simple, my sister loves Fargo, my drama teacher loves Raising Arizona, but No Country For Old Men is probably their best film to date because of how great Bardem is in it. He is like Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs or Mitchium in Night of the Hunter or Cape Fear.
