Watch No Country for Old Men For Free

Good movie but grossly overrated

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The only, only reason to see this is as a showcase for Bardem's performance. And maybe some of the cinematography and killings.Bolton does well, but it's meaningless, his character dies OFF SCREEN! Thanks for nothing.Jones is Sad. A sherfiff who should have retired. He does nothing but talk and put people to sleep with his philosophy. GARBAGE. Starts with his voice over. We see him at a coffee/diner speaking crap about life. We see him speaking to some fat/big hat about nothing. We see him speaking to some dude in a wheelchair with cats, about nothing. He doesn't do his job. He doesn't catch the killer. Doesn't save lives. And the film ends with him retired, bored, has nothing to do, speaking to his wife about dreams he had. Great! Not. Jones is Sad.The story is nonsense. At first I thought it was about some serial killer, Bardem. This guy kills indiscriminately. Even for fun. Then no. A drug deal gone wrong, everybody is dead except one guy dying asking for water. Bolton, a retired loser, while hunting deer comes across the killing field, steels 2 million dollars of drug money. Goes home, sends his wife to stay with her mother, then like a dumbass goes back to bring water to the dying guy, who is already dead. At this point some other drug dealers chase after him and wounding him. Ok, still with me? Bardem, the psychopath serial killer also doubles as a hitman for the drug cartel. He's hired to get the money back. He kills his employers. Kills random people for their vehicles, way to be inconspicuous. The Employers then hire Woody to get the money. Where did this idiot come from? Seriously! More than an hour into this mess we see a shot of Woody. Why? Tons of killing. Woody is killed. Bolton is killed off screen and so is his wife. Then out of freaking nowhere, Bardem while driving, a car crashes into him. He walks out with his left arm bone sticking out. He bribes a couple of kids on a bike to keep quiet and walks away into the sunset.Then we see Jones with his wife at the breakfast table speaking of boredom and dreams and just plain sleep inducing nonsense.As stated earlier the only reason to see this movie is for Bardem's performance. Decent acting and scenes. But still not great. If you like this kind of stuff I would recommend an early 70s film Scream Bloody Murder.The story is garbage. In the middle of chasing after Bolton, Bardem barges into an office and kills his employer. Where the hell did this come from. Bolton is killed off screen. I'm not even sure if Bardem killed him. After spending an entire film with these characters, we are left with a dud. If you're going to kill off Bolton, how about making it like in the middle shootout with Bardem where both are hit. The only way I can recommend this movie is if you're studying film and reading the reviews. At first my rating was a B-, 6 stars. Then after reading the reviews and realizing the mess of a story, real rating is a 5, C. 1 star given for balance.

If you want a movie about a likable but menacing hero (or perhaps antihero), then this is a movie for you. An effective agent of fate, Javier Bardem's character does not care what you think about his haircut or his ways. What he cares about are rules. But not your rules, he has a set of his own, just like in his world, he has the coolest haircut there is. And he wears it with confidence. The same confidence he executes his tagets, who have it coming. One way or the other, on the flip of a coin. And his ways are memorable, you have to give him that. This angel of death plays some sort of cat and mouse game, but this is not a man, this is a sublime being, and he is magnificent, inspiring awe. Cant say awesome since this word is ruined in the English language, but in 1940s, it would have been the most appropriate way to describe what the actor Bardem delivers. This is a must see movie...

Yawn. Oh, good, it's over!After an interesting start, the film tumbles to boredom. Tommy Lee Jones talks his usual 'what the hell is he saying' jumble. Javier is a brilliant actor, but he just seems to do everything in slow motion in this film. Is it just me or does the acting seem very, very laidback - almost lazy?The entire film I was rooting for the protagonist, who is then suddenly killed off screen. Uhm, why? The ending is very abrupt and leaves way too many questions unanswered. It leaves you with a sense of 'what the hell'!?

I heard about this movie when it was being advertised in 2007. I really wanted to see it but as i always do, i kinda put it off and i slowly forgot this film even existed. But recently i watched some of the other Coen Brother films such as The Big Lebowski (great movie), and Fargo (pretty good but not the best they've made), and i guess that alone sparked my interest to see this movie, and to this day i still hate myself for not seeing it when it came out. No Country for Old Men is a "Neo-Western" film (meaning it takes place in a western setting, but differs from the usual western movie) that takes place in the early 80's. It all starts when a Hunter (played by Josh Brolin) stumbles across a drug deal gone wrong and takes 2 million dollars from which he recovered from the site. Soon after, a ruthless hitman is hired to retrieve the stolen money and kill the man who took it. First of all, i gotta hand it to the Coen Brothers. They made such a spectacular looking movie with astounding visuals and camera work. Another thing that makes this movie special is that the soundtrack, is barely present. There's only one time in the entire movie where you can slightly hear it, and it's done in such a good way, almost as if it were creeping up on you. Goes to show you don't need music to build suspense nor do you need it during a thrilling action sequence. The performances were pretty amazing. Josh Brolin has a lot of time to show off his acting skills, Javier Bardem is absolutely terrific and he really carried this movie, and Tommy Lee Jones was a great supporting character and it was cool to hear his character's point of view on life. While the action and acting is great, there's something deeper to this movie that i love even more. There are countless of questions the film puts out, but there are few answers. I believe this was a creative choice by the Coen Brothers whether it would be the philosophy of not everything as an explanation, or they wanted the audience to make their own portrait of it. The film also has a theme of justice and how it's not all that it seems. The main character of the film is killed off screen by the Mexican Mob without the classic showdown in a typical western. The Sheriff (played by Tommy Lee Jones) later visits the Murder site of Llewelyn Moss while Anton Chigurh is waiting for him. But he shows up and leaves, leaving the audience with no payoff or justice as to what happens to the main antagonist. The end of the film shows that Anton Chigurh kills Moss's woman, and soon after he is hit by a car and nearly killed. I find that pure poetry, Chigurh views himself as an unstoppable force of Fate. And fate has been given to him. He is injured, weak, and vulnerable. Chigurh and the Sheriff are now Old Men as the title claims, and there is No Country for Old Men. This is easily my favorite film by the Coen Brothers and one of my all time favorites. 10/10 would watch again, and again, and again.
