Review of No Country for Old Men (2007) by Cameron J — 06 Jun 2014
"No Country For Old Men" is about a world, realistic yet fictional, and about the normal and abnormal characters that inhabit that world. Like every Coen brothers film I've thus far seen, it places the viewer into a setting so vividly created and human that it's hard not to feel a connection to it.
The dialogue is beautiful and endlessly witty, and the actors, even if not perfect at their accents (I don't know what Bardem was trying to do, and I just accept it because his performance excels on all other levels), become so invested in their own persona that we laugh at them as if they were our best friends.
No Country For Old Men is more thriller than comedy and more drama than thriller, but it embodies all three of these genres at the utmost level. It is wild and colorful and produced to excellent precision.
The Coen Brothers prove their mastery over film and over philosophy.
