Javier Bardem steals the show as perhaps the most
Posted on May 2, 2008
Javier Bardem steals the show as perhaps the most unnerving screen villain of the year, a monster who ups the ante in terms of tension by holding a cattle gun to his victims heads while flipping a coin to determine who lives and who dies. Its as close to a perfect film as Ive seen all year: ingeniously crafted, thematically consistent, and haunting in its implications. No Country for Old Men dvd Both perplexing and engrossing as it explores humanitys animal instincts. This being McCarthy and the Coens, nothing is spelled out. The seeds are there and they will flourish in a fertile mind. The Coens are wintry and dead calm ironists, and their movie is finally less an assault on our sensibilities than a subtle — and possibly permanent — insinuation into our consciousnesses.

Wildly overpraised, but a solid return to form for the Coen Bros.
