Review - No Country for Old Men (2007)

Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) was a hunter who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time when he found a stash of heroin and a bag of $2.4 million in cash. Now he’s on the run from hired assassin Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) in “No Country for Old Men.”
What an interesting movie this is. It’s dramatic, suspenseful, and never once allows you to lose interest. The acting is worth it alone, but the story is very unique and extremely well told.
There are flaws, of course, but nothing serious enough to hurt the film in any way. I thought the writing was superb, but there were a couple minor details I found confusing. Still, the story is not that of your average movie, and the way it’s played out is even more interesting.
I believe “No Country for Old Men” is a serious Oscar contender, but I don’t think it will win Best Picture. And if it does win, I won’t be upset.
