Review of No Country for Old Men (2007) by Facebook U — 15 Mar 2015

I can't believe I haven't rated this movie yet! I remember back when I first saw this film. I remember the beautiful acting, an amazing story of morality, and a great but imperfect film. Now this might contain spoilers, you've been warned.

Like I said before, the story and acting are great. Some may find the story a little preachy, but I found it to be for the most part powerful. Nobody can make an old southern film like the Cohens. The performances are all great especially Javier Bardem as the insanely creepy Anton Chigurh.

Now my problems come later in the story. I'll start off by saying saying this movie should have been about 20 minutes longer. I feel some parts of the story where rushed, particularly when Josh Brolin's character, Llewelyn Moss, dies later in the movie.

It didn't even show the confrontation. It just dropped it on us; I really didn't know what was going on at first when the police arrived, and on top of that it felt like all his stress and running had led up to nothing.

Now if I where to pick my top 10 favorite movie endings, this would definitely be on there. The ending is, let's say, perfection. It's not a flawless film, but it's a damn good one.
