NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN (2007)

Cast

Plot

Another superlative cinematic tour de force from the Coen brothers. A Vietnam Vet stumbles across the bloody remnants of a shoot out, pockets some booty and disappears pursued by Javier Bardem's relentless, dead eyed assassin. An ageing, disillusioned sheriff, the excellent Tommy Lee Jones, whose small town rural values have been eroded by the inexorable rise in brutal drug-crime related violence is the reluctant, but dogged, cop in pursuit of both hitman and thief. What follows is a battle of wits and a clash of values as lawman, killer, opportunist, drug runners and bounty hunter pursue each other across western Texas. The DVD contains an excellent short with interviews with the brothers and stars.
