A Masterpiece Of Cinema.

Rating: 10/10 (10 August 2008)

I would love to be able to successfully summarize this film into a review of a few paragraphs, but it is not possible to do so without underselling it.
The synopsis in it's most simplistic form is that of a hunter stumbling upon some dead bodies, a stash of heroin and more than $2 million in cash near the Rio Grande. This is the most basic synopsis, but...
No Country For Old Men undoubtedly offers much more food for thought than one can cram into a two-hour movie. There is a wisdom gazing around the entire time, a philosophy that will surely keep you pondering days after.
I found myself amazed and dumbstruck at how The Coen brothers managed to maintain such a high level of intensity throughout the film, when sometimes so very little is going on.
The acting is non-existent. Everyone finds his character. Their tasks are hardened ever more by the fact that they have such little dialog to play with.
I loved the absence of dramatic music.
I would recommend any fan of cinema to see this, but the fact is that it is not for everyone. Some may find the entire experience boring.
While others like myself, will leave inspired.
