The Cohen Brother's are famous for the production values, so it goes without saying that they've put out another movie worth a moment's discussion. In No Country For Old Men, Josh Brolin stars as the main protagonist, Llewelyn Moss, that stumbles upon two million dollars while scavenging the end result of a drug deal gone awry. What ensues is a sociopathic madman on the hunt for what is "rightfully" his, the two million dollars.
The movie itself contains relatively little dialogue although the story-line is, while slightly predictable, carried on the back's of each actor's performance which is enough to make a predictable movie one that is worth watching again and again. NCFOM is by no means the greatest movie in movie history, there are far better movies to be had. But with that being said, whether or not a movie riddled with suspense is the genre for you, there are things in this movie to enjoy. The movie was one unquestionably enjoyable, but if the price of admission to a movie theater is one that keeps you tossing and turning at night, then I just might have to recommend a pass on this one, there are far better better movies to be had.
