Synopsis: With NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, the Coen Brothers have found a perfect match in Pulitzer Prize-winning author Cormac McCarthy. Their adaptation of McCarthy's praised novel is a staggering masterpiece. In this almost impossibly faithful adaptation, the film takes place in a small Texas border... [More]

It is a bloody and grisly film at times, but this is one of those few times where the violence and gore are not just necessary but essential. On first viewing its simply thrilling, on subsequent viewing I get the feeling this will only grow in estimation.
Top Critic
I think this just might be [the Coens'] best film so far, with some qualifications.
Top Critic
It's the unexpected nature of the characters and what happens to them that makes this return to form from the Coen Brothers both intriguing and satisfying.
Top Critic
Although 'No Country for Old Men' is an exciting film, wise screen violence needs more emotional depth below surface technique.
The Coen Brothers explore the demise of the Western with their late-80s-set drama about a simple man running from a amoral assassin.
Why, Joel and Ethan, why did you have to ruin an almost flawless film with a terrible last scene?
I was a little worried when I went to see "No Country for Old Men" because many people have been labeling it a masterpiece, but for once all the hype is warranted.
Without overstating the case this could be Joel and Ethan Coen's finest work yet. A bruising, battering, almost religious experience.
No Country for Old Men is the kind of film that will only cement the opinion you already have about its uniquely eccentric makers. Approach the ticket booth accordingly.
Retains the Coen brothers' trademark quirkiness, and it certainly goes all out. But it's also subtle in ways we haven't seen before.
The most fascinating element of the film is its formal linking of its multiple, no-nonsense protagonists. [Blu-Ray review]
Thank goodness that experiment in appeasing the commercial suit types is over and the quirky brothers are back to form with No Country for Old Men, a dark and violent exploration of nature's hunt and the relevance of time.
The problem comes when we realize it's a Tommy Lee Jones film and the title is more than just a random coincidence. It's a really good film that was almost great.
...the Coens sabotage their wonderfully understated style in No Country with the trivial substance of their narrative.
Le film représente-t-il un sommet pour ces grands cinéastes? Je serais tenté de dire oui mais le temps seul le dira.
This is the Coens' masterful return to Blood Simple territory. The biggest thing you'll notice is the quiet: Whether it's the lack of a soundtrack or a lack of dialogue, the silence often makes the tension unbearable.
What is perhaps most amazing is that a film this terrifying, violent and relentlessly nihilistic should also be this enthralling.
Un thriller de brillante ejecución cinematográfica, que muestra a los hermanos Coen en su mejor forma junto a un elenco excepcional. También una meditación sobre la violencia, desencantada y sombría.
