After a series of critical disappointments, the Coen brothers made a major comeback with their adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s novel No Country For Old Men. Featuring one of cinema’s most memorably terrifying creations in Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), the twisting plot – about Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) and his attempts to hide the money he finds in the aftermath of a mexican stand-off, as well as the retiring Sheriff Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) coming to terms with his place in what he sees as an increasingly violent world – comes to a surprising climax which confused some viewers not used to the Coen brothers style. Featuring some great supporting performances, the Coens punctuate scenes of surprising violence and intense suspense with their usual twisted sense of humor. A wonderful balancing act that rewards repeat viewings.
