No Country for Old Men (15)   122 mins

"There are no clean getaways."

 

Out hunting antelope, Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) stumbles on a pile of dead bodies, a pick-up truck loaded with heroin and two million dollars in cash. His decision to take the money sets off an unstoppable chain reaction of violence as he finds himself hunted by psychopathic killer Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem).  Chigurh's weapon of choice is an air-pressure boltgun, as used in abattoirs, and he is prepared to use it on anyone who gets in his way.  And trailing both of them comes decent, weather-beaten Sheriff Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), a third-generation lawman who despairs at the increasing mindlessness of crime.   Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Cormac McCarthy, and featuring an acclaimed cast, this gritty game of cat and mouse will take you to the edge of your seat and beyond.

"No Country for Old Men is as good a film as the Coen brothers, Joel and Ethan, have ever made, and they made Fargo. It involves elements of the thriller and the chase but is essentially a character study, an examination of how its people meet and deal with a man so bad, cruel and unfeeling that there is simply no comprehending him."  Roger Ebert

"A dark, violent and deeply disquieting drama, leavened with brilliant noirish wisecracks, and boasting three leading male performances with all the spectacular virility of Texan steers. And all of it hard and sharp as a diamond."  Peter Bradshaw

"With No Country For Old Men, the Coen brothers have once again placed themselves at the very forefront of American cinema."  BBCi Movies
