I am talking of course about "No Country for Old Men" an adaptation of the novel written by Cormac McCarthy (my favorite author), and directed by the Coen brothers.
I have never really written a movie review before, and I don't know if this will convince people to see this movie, but it was by far the best movie I have seen in theaters in quite some time. The basic plot centers around three characters, Llewelyn Moss (played by Josh Brolin), Anton Chigurh (played by Javier Bardem) and Sheriff Tom Bell (played by Tommy Lee Jones). One day while hunting, Llewelyn comes across a drug deal gone horribly wrong (the movie is set in Texas in 1980), and finds $2 million in cash that for the rest of the movie he tries to make his own. Llewelyn is hunted by Anton Chigurh, a man who is so evil it is practically beyond all comprehension. A man so evil, yet at certain times he is almost humorous as well. Sheriff Bell is caught in the middle, trying to stop Chigurh from hunting down and killing Moss.
The story is an incredible analysis of human nature and all of its flaws, fate, and evil. From the very first scene of the movie you are sucked in, your attention will be devoted entirely to this movie as it moves from scene to scene. It is an intense film that grabs a hold of you and doesn't let go until the very last scene.
