DVD Synopsis

When a Vietnam veteran discovers two million dollars while wandering through the aftermath of a Texas drug deal gone horribly awry, his decision to abscond with the cash sets off a violent chain reaction in a stripped-down crime drama from Joel and Ethan Coen. Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) has just stumbled into the find of a lifetime. Upon discovering a bullet-strewn pickup truck surrounded by the corpses of dead bodyguards, Moss uncovers two million dollars in cash and a substantial load of heroin stashed in the back of the vehicle. Later, as an enigmatic killer who determines the fate of his victims with the flip of a coin sets out in pursuit of Moss, the disillusioned Sheriff Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) struggles to contain the rapidly escalating violence that seems to be consuming his once-peaceful Lone Star State town. Woody Harrelson, Javier Bardem, and Kelly MacDonald co-star in a distinctly American crime story that explores timeless biblical themes in a contemporary Southwestern setting. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Interesting, creepy and violent, (pointless, perhaps?) but immensely enjoyable to witness the character portrayals by Bardem, Jones, and Brolin. Outstanding action sequences and authentic-feeling setting. Excellent filmmaking by the Coen Bros. (Will live in fear of compressed air machines forever, thanks to this film.)

What a great movie. The narration by the Sheriff that started the movie implied that the world was changing. And with that, the killer arrived and turned the world as was known by the other men upside down. Things that were nice and quiet was about to get jolted by this force of violence.

The acting was superb, the dialogues sparse, comedic moments abound, and the vistas were great. Quite a movie that rewards multiple viewings.

What a movie! The Cohen brothers can really keep us on the edge of our seats. This movie left me with my mouth wide open but also made me snicker at some of the most morbid and inopportune moments. Strange, strange and at times even stranger, but thoroughly entertaining movie. The ending was pfffffft...you tell me?? Just simply saying "no country for old men?"

I forgot to mention the two oddest things I noticed. The banter between Tommy Lee Jones character and his deputy reminded me of Andy Griffith and Barney Fife in a black comedic way. And the connection between Josh Brolin's character and his wife reminded me of the couple wanting a baby in Raising Arizona (Nicholas Cage and Holly Hunter). You guys tell me, my imagination or did you see it too? From my view point those things made the movie seem less depressing and violent.

Well, I have to say, I just don't get it.... I saw this movie in the theater and to me it was just wholesale violence - bulk section, take as much as you can carry. I did not find this movie enticing or riveting in the least. And I am not averse to violent movies on the whole. It quite surprised me how much I liked Apocalypse Now. So violence is not the point.

I just don't see anything particularly engaging about this movie, the acting, the premise, the execution of it... anything. I really don't get all the hoopla surrounding it, with all the awards and rave reviews. Perhaps I missed something?...
