If you haven’t watched No Country For Old Men, I recommend you do. First of all, I got to know about this movie not by publicity, but thru my husband. He said it was a good movie based on numerous reviews he read online. So, I decided to give it a try.

No Country For Old Men is a film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s novel of the same title and stars Tommy Lee Jones (playing Sheriff Tom Bell), Spanish actor Javier Bardem (Anton Chigurh), and Josh Brolin (American Gangster).

The movie follows the character of a Texan hunter Llewelyn Moss, who finds a number of murdered drug runners and a bagful of money while trekking the desert. What Moss did not realize when he decided to keep the $2 million he found, is that a psychopathic hired killer, Anton Chigurh, is out to recover the money, which is easily traced thru a location device hidden underneath those millions of bucks.

If you want a feel-good movie, definitely this isn’t for you. Some may even be put off with the kind of violence it shows. In No Country For Old Men, things happen unexpectedly. It keeps you guessing what will happen next, from the beginning up to the end. This makes the movie rather interesting because it allows you to think and really concentrate on the story.

To be honest, I’m not so much into this kind of movie. I don’t enjoy a movie that doesn’t have suspenseful musical scoring and doesn’t take me back from where I started. But I did like the cat-and-mouse plot and the intelligent treatment of the story in general!
