No Country for Old Men

"There are no clean getaways"...the Tagline for this movie.

This is a different movie. The first five minutes set the tone for the whole movie. I went into the cinema hall with no idea about the plot and watched the next 122 minutes spellbound.

So, its a story about a psychopath killer (Javier Bardem) who, using his unconventional methods, has just killed half a dozen drug traders somewhere in Texas. A retired welder (Josh Brolin) happens to walk into the crime scene...just minutes after our killer has left. Our welder, has a look around, finds a suitcase stacked with cash..and makes his getaway. As expected, our psychopath has to get "his" money back and sets off on the chase. A chase that is riveting to say the least.There is also the Sheriff (Tommy Lee Jones) and Kelly McDonald playing Josh Brolin's wife.

The best bit of the movie is Javier Bardem's depiction of ....EVIL (see pic below). I do not want to be a spoiler and hence, will not talk about what happens in the movie. I had never seen any of Bardem's movies, but I will now.

Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men)
So, to sum up...just go watch the movie with very little prior knowledge about the storyline. This movie is a must watch and is already Oscar nominated. The Coen Brothers have a style of their own and after the dissapointing "The Ladykillers", are back to their best.

"There are no clean getaways" which is quite true. Its one of those movies you keep thinking about long after you have left the cinema hall.
