Pros: visuals, cast, ambient sound Cons: nihilism AND requires some leaps of faith (suspension of disbelief)!
If I thought that the Coen brothers' adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men was the best 2007 movie, I would not add another epinion after it had been anointed that by the majority of voters in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts ...
Pros: Wonderful performances in a gripping story. Cons: Will be too violent for some. Ending will bother some people.
Every year there are a few movies that receive all kinds of critical acclaim and Oscar buzz. Sometimes I feel that is justified and other times I don’t. I try to see movies nominated for Oscars before the awards are given out, but some years I ...
Pros: Cormac McCarthy's novel. The Coens' adaptation, directing. Bardem, Brolin, Jones. Roger Deakins' photography. Sound mixing. Cons: Either not enough Woody Harrelson, or too much. Last fifteen minutes may frustrate some viewers.
"As devised and refined by James M. Cain, Jim Thompson and their gloomy paperback peers, the crime novel aimed its cheap handgun at the heart of America's most prized beliefs about its destiny: that the loot we've scooped up will belong to us forever ...
Pros: Slow paced, yet action-packed. Good casting. Great Acting. Believable. Cons: None.
While watching No Country For Old Men I was reminded of those dreams where you are being chased, but you can't run. The harder you try to run, it seems the slower you go...and the whole time your blood is pumping. That's about the best way I can ...
I saw No Country for Old Men yesterday and I'm still drained. It's a great movie from a movie making perspective but a very disturbing one from a moviegoing perspective. I still recommend it, but, well read on and I'll explain. Basic ...
I probably shouldn't like No Country For Old Men, the Coen Brothers' stark adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel of the same name. It's one of the most violent movies I've ever seen, an almost relentless bloodbath, which meant that when I saw it ...
Pros: Everything but the lack of music Cons: Maybe too violent for some--not really a con, but it fits here
No Country for Old Men won the best picture Oscar for 2008 and has had about 2 score people write reviews for it. I will write the normal review but have an analysis portion below that puts the story (based on the book) and the film itself in ...
Pros: great lines, amazing plot twists, very cool action Cons: no ending, frustration is the intended result
No Country For Old Men is a brilliant film designed to irritate and annoy the average viewer. It isn't that the whole affair is bathed in art-house eccentricity but that the movie's main character is in every scene, but invisible. You'll think, early ...
Pros: Spellbounding story, even if a bit over the top violent..The Coen brothers do it again. Cons: Ending was a bit baffling.
I probably shouldn't even bother writing this review since so many have been written already but, after watching No Country For Old Men last night, the images of this film just won't leave my head. Seriously! I even woke up this morning to ...
Pros: Bardem, Brolin, Jones, it's a Coen film, cinematography, intriguing Cons: A little slow (but didn't bother me), some of the philosophy went over my head
I went to see No Country For Old Men about a month ago after hearing ridiculously positive reviews claiming it to be the best film of the year, but really the only selling point of the film was not only the fact that it was an adaptation of the ...
I’d heard a lot of good things about No Country For Old Men (both the book and the movie, actually). “Best film of the year!” I kept hearing critics say. My wife loved the book, so she really wanted to go see it. If it’s got ...
Whenever the Coen Brothers are mentioned in conversation. People think of either two things. Their funnier films like Raising Arizona, Barton Fink, O Brother Where Art Thou?, and the cult-favorite The Big Lebowski. Others ...
Pros: Fantastic Direction, Amazing Acting, Some Interesting Comic Relief Cons: Some annoying script flaws.
"No Country For Old Men" was one of those movies that I was dying to see from the second that I saw the trailer back in early summer. Then I read the early reviews coming out of Cannes and I was totally psyched after that, and I couldn't wait for ...
Pros: acting, script, pacing, NO MUSIC, and performances by Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin. Cons: lots of gore, a few slow scenes
Sorry I'm late in getting this review on line, but it wasn't my fault. I live in a small town, and the movie is STILL not showing here. I had to drive 35 miles to see it, and just did so over the weekend. This movie had a lot of buzz, so I knew I had ...
Pros: Great darkness, Tommy Lee Jones Cons: Dated, Boring at first, violence is out of control
I’ve been sick recently with a horrible infection in my vocal cords, so I have decided to silently watch/catch up on several movies I’ve been meaning to see. I decided that No Country For Old Men was at the top of my list since it won and ...
With NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN the Coen Brothers have found a perfect match in Pulitzer Prize-winning author Cormac McCarthy. Their adaptation of McCarth...More at Family Video
