NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN

The Coen brothers prove their brilliance once again.
With a growing list of classics on their resume such as BLOOD SIMPLE, RAISING ARIZONA, MILLERS CROSSING, FARGO, THE BIG LEBOWSKI, BARTON FINK, THE HUDSUCKER PROXY, and OH BROTHER WHERE ART THOU they are making a case that they should be considered among film's all-time greatest movie makers. NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MAN may remove any doubt. This is a terrific movie. Perfect performances from Javier Bardem and Tommy Lee Jones. Breath-taking suspense from flawlessly constructed scenes. So many moments in this film are perfectly executed that its an absolute pleasure to watch. The film has a lot to say about violence in society, and our response to it...but youre so engrossed in the decisions and actions of each character that you hardly have to think about the films deeper statements. This movie is a winner, and one that certainly calls for multiple viewings. By the way...watch for all the references to the number 13 throughout the movie! 4 1/2 of 5 hs
