No Country For Old Men (2007)

No Country For Old Men, 4 out of 4 stars.


No Country For Old Men, directed by Coen Brothers who brought you "Intolerable Cruelty" in 2003. This movie won 4 awards in 80th Academy Awards, and it adapted from the Cormac McCarthy novel of the same name. This movie tells the story of a drug deal gone wrong and the ensuing cat and mouse drama as three men crisscross each other's paths in the desert landscape of 1980 West Texas. In this movie, there is few scenes that contain blood and gore, and some scenes are very intense where Llyewelyn Moss(Josh Brolin) who accidentally found a satchel contain 2 million dollar, and has been chasing by the an evil assassin(Javier Bardem) who want to retrieve the money back and there is few shootout between both of them. For acting, both of their acting is great especially Javier Bardem character. His acting is great, from the beginning of the film, it shows the characteristic of this character, his act just like he is really an assassin in real life. Besides that, in this movie he has an extraordinary moptop haircut. Because of the haircuts, he is very badass in this movie. I'm glad he won the Best Supporting Actor in Academy Awards. The plot for the film is great, and explain to us that this place is increasingly violent and the story is easy to understand or follow. This movie is my 2nd best film in 2007.

just saw no country for old men, it's unassumingly unconventional yet (thankfully) never over-the-top. the Coen bros. deserve their Oscars; well done indeed.
