No Country For Old Men

This is the kind of movie that while I was watching I was hoping it would have gone on for another couple of hours like Eastern Promises. I could just watch and soak it in and enjoy everything that was happening.

It is amazing that some of the best movies have the simplest of plots. Man who is hunting finds two million dollars and becomes the target of a psychotic killing machine.

I'm not usually a fan of the Coen Brothers or their movies. I thought Fargo was overrated. Didn't care for Raising Arizona much. But this movie is spectacular! I enjoyed the casting, the dialog, the shots, everything about this movie made it good. John Brolin was outstanding, Javier Bardem was pitch perfect, Tommy Lee Jones was well Tommy Lee Jones, the same character he always plays.

Even the violence was there but wasn't over the top like some movies that are just violent for the sake of violence. In the weak field of the Oscars this year this was heads and shoulders the winner of best picture. It deserved it as much as Daniel Day Lewis deserved the Oscar for There Will Be Blood, the Coens deserved it for No Country For Old Men.

Watch it if you haven't already.
