No Country for Old Men (DVD) —
No Country For Old Men begins and ends with a provocative narrative by a familar voice and a less familiar cast, both delivering a heart wrenching and thoroughly satisfying viewer experience. The violence the movie involves somehow only serves to accent the testament shown and heard by the narrator and doesn't speak as loudly as a stand alone genre. It boggles the mind that the heartlessness aside such obvious intelligence and introspection could come across the screen with such warmth. Yet, the truth of the characters will not be overlooked amidst the blood and cruelty exhibited by the villain, nor the hopelessness it leaves with the protagonists. You have to smile and if not that--at least nod toward the relentlessness shown by the fabulous Bardem in the villain's role, and wonder where Josh Brolin has been all these years until this role as the ill- fated near do well came along. I was breathless more times than I have been since Scarface, and doubtless no less charged by the action and mystery of the mind of the many in this film. A must see for the not faint of heart.Last edited on Mar 17, 2008
