No Country for Old Men


My 2nd favorite movie hands down. This movie comes 2nd only to the masterpiece that is Pulp Fiction. I can assume half the appeal comes from the emotionless gaze that is on Anton Chigurh's(Javier Bardem) face the whole movie. I enjoy violent movies and this movie delivers that in a courteous manner. The movie is a tad bit long, almost as long as There Will Be Blood,never mind that, its only 2 hours. The character development in this movie is absurdly good. The Coen brothers force you to learn the characters way of thinking. If you are a movie-phile like my self, I would recommend this greatly. My favorite parts amidst all the killing, is the scene when Anton goes to a gas station. The dialogue during this scene is probably the funniest part of the whole movie.
