Playing at a Theater Near You...
No Country for Old Men
The Gist: A young, rough, trailer-living cowboy-type stumbles across the aftermath of a drug deal gone bad in the desert. He discovers a briefcase containing millions of dollars in cash and takes less than a nanosecond to decide that he wants the money for himself and his young bride. (The movie never reaches the issue of whether he’d pay income tax on the cash, but I think it’s safe to assume that he definitely would.) The greatest hitman in the history of film wants to track down the young cowboy-type to get the cash. Meanwhile, Tommy Lee Jones plays a sheriff who wants to save the young cowboy-type and prevent people from getting murdered. Woody Harrelson has a minor role and is fantastic, but that’s no surprise, because everyone is great in this movie!
What Would Have Made this Movie Better: Nothing. This is a fantastic film. You should go see it when you get a chance.
Who Should See This: Every single person who enjoys movies with the possible exception of children under the age of 10. Okay, maybe kids under 16 shouldn’t see esa pelicula because it’s got a fair amount of violence!
The Verdict: A.
