Throughout their careers, Joel and Ethan Coen have spun yarns about dreamers and ne'er do wells bucking their fates for chances at better lives. On the other end, those forces of fate often strike back. The themes may vary, but the song remains the same.
In this Oscar-winning adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's bone-dry western, Texas hunter Llewelyn Moss stumbles onto a bag of cash following a deal gone wrong; assassin Anton Chigurh chases his leads as he begins to circle in on the stolen loot; Tommy Lee Jones, the close-to-retiring sheriff, works to piece it altogether. A masterclass in storytelling, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN stands as one of the finest depictions of villainy from two of the most creative minds of their generation.
