Coen-brødrene har filmet Cormac McCarthys roman “No country for old men” med Tommy Lee Jones som sheriff.
No country for old men er en ekstremt voldelig moderne western.
The story is set in motion in a remote area where a West Texas hunter, Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin, in a starmaking performance), accidentally stumbles across the bloody, corpse-strewn scene of a drug deal gone bad. He makes off with the 2 million dollars in a briefcase that’s lying about but he’s enough of a hunter to know he’ll be pursued for it. What he doesn’t figure on is that his chief pursuer will be a human Terminator named Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) whose preferred mode of killing is a cattle stun gun.
Ifølge filmkritikeren i Christian Science er det en av Coen-brødrenes beste på lang tid.
