No country for old men



Wow!

This film is pretty damn good.

I'm not going to waste too much of your time so lets just jump right into it.

First off, there is no music in this film what so ever, there is only one moment of recorded music and that is in the end credits. But I would have to say that the lack of music just enhances the suspense factor, other films might just try and use loud noises or creepy music to create and element of suspense but this movie doesn't need that and for that it woks very well.

The plot of the movie involves some guy played by Josh Brolin is out hunting or something like that he stumbles across a whole load of dead bodies, a tonne of herion and over 2 million dollars in cash, after he decides to take the cash he finds himself in a suspensfull game of cat and mouse when an assasin played by Javier Bardem starts going after him to get the cash back, and killing him if neccaserry, even if it's not. And in the mix of all this Tommy Lee Jones is the sherrif of a local police station and he is out to investigate.

So thats about it really, theres only really one more thing left to say, and this is probably regular with Coen brothers films and that is, it gets to be a little bit confusing in places but appart from than that this film is very goodand to be honest with you I really don't know what to give this film.

****1/2/*****

Yeah, that ought to do it for now.

Oh and I know what your thinking, what the title about?

Well to be honest, I don't know, I think it might have something to do with Tommy Lee Jone's character because he starts going on about how he old, but really I have know fucking clue.

Thanks for reading.
