Critics Consensus

Bolstered by powerful lead performances from Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, and Tommy Lee Jones, No Country for Old Men finds the Coen brothers spinning cinematic gold out of Cormac McCarthy's grim, darkly funny novel.

Wendy Ide

Times (UK)

Roger Deakins’s cinematography is as much a star of the film as any of the cast.

London Evening Standard

The lack of respect for the body, the sheer bloody aftermath depresses me. Yes, they may handle the killing with verve and ironic tension, but this is a Coen brothers film too far.

For the Win (USA Today)

This is easily one of the best films the Coens have made, and it’s absolutely one of the greats we’ll remember for decades to come.

A model of simple, strong, evocative storytelling pared down to the bone, 'No Country' is filled with richly-drawn characters and an enthralling story that builds merciless momentum.

This is a terrific and compelling adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's best selling novel. The Coen Brothers are unique and extraordinary filmmakers. They manage to make the story jump vividly from the page top the screen. Like all Coen films the movie is well Directed, well paced, and fully engaging. The characters played by this terrific cast really make the book's characters come to life. Tommy Lee Jones is great. Josh Brolin is perfect for the role. As most who have seen the previews for the film might not be surprised, Javier Bardeem creates one of the truly compelling villains in modern film history. I would recommend seeing this AND reading the book. They are great companions.

Its q weird movie, Anton is very scary. I like it because the movie is fun. I recommend this movie for the people who like suspense. The violence is graphic. But in general it’s great

Brilliant from start to finish. A movie that is constantly making you guess what will happen next, with the perfect cast. I’ve never wrote a review for a film and I’m glad this is my first. This is my favorite movie of all time.
