No Country For Old Men

Finally bought this flick. I have been wanting to watch it for a long time. I'm not much of a theater attendee nowadays, but when I know something is going to be good, I will catch it on DVD.

The Coen brothers have already wowed me in the past with beautifully conducted productions such as Fargo and the can't be missed Big Lebowski. Ladykillers kicked some royal ass, too. Now, they sink further into the thriller/suspense genre with No Country for Old Men. This movie is enveloped with suspense due in part by the Coens' tricky camera angles and brilliant character development. We are given an antagonist who is perceived as one of the most badass killers ever presented in a movie. We shift a little closer to the edge of our seat every time he's on screen. Javier Bardem knows how to play a bad guy, and he knows how to play it well. Everything meshes together almost perfectly. There's even a lesson or two to be learned inside the film's symbolic undertones and themes.

If you know what's good for you, you will not miss the Coen bros' newest masterpiece.
