Connor Macgregor Reviews...No Country For Old Men
A film i thought was overrated , until i actually saw it and boy do i have a lot to say about this film.
In rural Texas, welder and hunter Llewelyn Moss discovers the remains of several drug runners who have all killed each other in an exchange gone violently wrong. Rather than report the discovery to the police, Moss decides to simply take the two million dollars present for himself. This puts the psychopathic killer, Anton Chigurh, on his trail as he dispassionately murders nearly every rival, bystander and even employer in his pursuit of his quarry and the money. As Moss desperately attempts to keep one step ahead, the blood from this hunt begins to flow behind him with relentlessly growing intensity as Chigurh closes in. Meanwhile, the laconic Sherrif Ed Tom Bell blithely oversees the investigation even as he struggles to face the sheer enormity of the crimes he is attempting to thwart.
For Starters , This film is jaw dropping. It amazes me how gritty and haunting the film actually is. It tells a dark story about a man who stumbles upon his own downfall. Josh Brolin potrays a man with not much to live for , and once he finds "the bag full of money" , events that lead him to a hideous fate begin to unravel itself.
Tommy Lee Jones gives a great emtional performance that really changes the way i look at him as an actor. He brings a lot of age and nostalgia to his performance. He clearly has some form of sadness before the events of the film take place , but you don't know what. But never the less , its moving and great to watch yet also tragic.
But The Highlight...Anton Chigurh. Simply a villian of excellence. He cannot be stopped until he gets what he needs. He's quick , quiet , fast and unstoppable. The Performance is unbelieveable and iconic. He shows no emotion when doing the evil things he does and that makes the character more chilling because you don't know what he is thinking. It makes you wonder what he thinks about during , before or after the killings. But never the less , one of the best villians in recent cinema history.
Overall , Coen Brother's best work and by far more than a classic film. Its A Film to be remembered for years to come.
Rating - 100% - A+
