There's a song titled "If I Had A Million Dollars" by Barenaked Ladies, which is a thought that most us poor folks wonder about. Well in No Country For Old Men, Llewelyn Moss (Brolin) finds out what its like when he comes across two million dollars of drug money at the scene of a botched transaction, where everyone is shot to death, including the dogs. You would think he's got it made, but now he is the target of an erie, sinister assassin named Anton (Bardem), sent to retrieve the money and drugs, who uses an air compressor as a weapon. With all this chaos in this small town near the Rio Grande, Sheriff Ed Thom Bell (Jones) doesn't know where to begin as he proceeds to apprehend the man behind theses murders.
I got to say this movie was like a roller-coaster ride, never knowing whats the next turn. Bardem was superb as the menacing murderer with an ethical conscience, his performance alone kept my attention. I didn't quite get the brief Woody Harrelson appearance or some of the meaningless dialog provided by Jones. Writers and directors Ethan and Joel Coen did a good job of maintaining an adrenaline rush throughout the movie until the ending. Let's just say I walked out feeling incomplete and confused.
