The only way I can describe No Country for Old Men is with a resounding WOW! The film captures your interest from the beginning to its bizarre ending. The Coen Brothers regain the title of unusual and twisted filmmaking. The target audience will understand when I say "it"s Quentin Tarantino with a pinch of Robert Rodriguez.”

Finding drugs and the $2 million loot left in the melee, he scampers back to his trailer, miles away from the terrifying death site. But, thinking about the millions in drugs he left behind, he decides to return to the scene of the crime only to become the prey for a different kind of hunter.

The acting and plot are amazingly good in this relentless action-drama. Jones gets to play out a role similar to his Marshal Samuel Gerard in The Fugitive, but this time, he’s mellower. He’s a thinking man’s cop who watches from the outside waiting until he knows his quarry is ready to be captured.

Brolin does an awesome job of being the hunter and the hunted. His crafty Llewelyn gets himself in and out of danger until he has nowhere else to run. But, his antagonists are relentless and sinister killers that will stop at nothing to get their drugs and money back. The most disturbing killer is Anton (Bardem), a cold-blooded, ruthless executioner who loves to kill at the flip of a coin—he rarely looses.

The direction by the Coen brothers, with their up-in-your-face storytelling, has little competition for top dog in this genre with No Country for Old Men. As tough as it is to watch, the mix of story with excellent cinematography and special effects makes it a film to be recognized.
