No Country for Old Men (DVD) Reviews

I love independent movies because their plots don't follow the Hollywood mainstream "cookie-cutter" formulas. The Coen Brothers excel at rebelling against this formula-- thumbing their noses at it, in fact. — — This foray into Western movie territory is a slower-moving study, but equally dark and as gruesome as they get, following the path of a trained, brutal killer (whom no live person can identify) in his quest to collect stolen drug money. — — "Comedic" portions are but typical Coen flourishes, such as Jones' character's dryly flippant remarks at death scenes,… read full review »

I love action flicks. I love shooting, daring escapes, and chase scenes. If I am jumping in my seat, and worried about the characters it is a good movie for me. — No Country for Old Men was one of those movies. It was start, violent and had some amazing characters. The academy got it right with the best actor, no question. — The ending was stark, but I think it was ment to be a slice of life movie, rather than having a full story arc. I tend to hate "Hollywood" endings so this was perfect for me. — I thought it was great, but I can see how others would not like it at all. —… read full review »

I saw this movie a few months ago, and still think about it frequently.  It was such a suspenseful movie and at times funny.  It was one of those movies that you do not want to end.  It is a cat and mouse type chase throughout the movie and never really lets you rest.  The acting I thought was awesome....   Josh Brolin did an excellent job.  Tommy Lee jones was excellent.  The villain was scary and excellent ( i forgot his name).  Woody Harelson... not so excellent... I think they could have found a number of others to play his part...  … read full review »

No Country For Old Men... where do I start? — — If you're looking for a good action movie and don't mind some good violence, this movie is for you.  The actors and actresses do a great job.  The music (or lack thereof) sets the tone well.  I hear it strays from the book a bit with some things (i.e. the character played by Woody Harrelson in the movie has much more of an important part in the book), but it has been turned into a good screenplay. — — The one thing that bothered me?  The ending of course.  But don't be too disappointed… read full review »

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… read full review »

This movie is extremely violent and vicious.  I rented it because it was voted best picture.  I thought it was a western on heroin.  Lonesome dove on crack if you will.  Pretty good pic if your into the serious action with a twist.  I most usual stop watching a movie somewhere in the middle but I stayed for the whole movie oh and by the way my children did not watch this with me too violent.  —… read full review »

This movie was a great movie despite that I never really watch movies. I can't seem to get into them. This movie kept me on the edge of my seat through the whole thing, because you never what was going to happen next. I would highly recommend this movie for people who love action or even semi- scary movies. Watch it you will also like it… read full review »

No Country For Old Men will  be the next cult classic! This film is fantastic. The Coen Brothers were true to the novel never straying from the original formula, and paying extra special attention to every detail like they always do. Comedy, action, horror, and suspense are all included in this new timeless… read full review »

I thought that this was a very interesting movie. It had some dark characters and a very odd, but likable sheriff. I found myself a bit at a loss a few times with the tangents that the writers took us on, but then again, it is the Cohen brothers. All in all it was a very good movie and well done. —… read full review »

Since the release of Fargo, the Coen Brothers have made a stamp on the entertainment community with their style and vision. No Country For Old Men represents this; a modern-western classic. Don't get me wrong , the drama certainly is worth the wait for violence in this… read full review »

I was very excited about watching this movie. The movie itself was okay but it just ended abrubtly. It was very disappointing. I normally love anything Tommy Lee Jones is in, but this was an… read full review »
