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.

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.

Why So Blu

No Country for Old Men is one of the best films of the 2000s, one of a few Coen masterpieces, and one that will easily stand the test of time when considering what it has to say about the way of the world, dark as it may be.

Rated: 5/5

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.

This is easily the best film the Coen Brothers have ever made! It’s also one of the greatest movies of the 2000s, of the 21st century, and of all time! You won't regret watching this!

Dark in a suspenseful way that always makes you question everyone's next move. Absolute masterclass in Acting and Story Telling. Can't recommend enough.

Such an overrated movie... great acting, but the story/plot was so boring and ultimately a letdown. The movies just ends, nothing happens.

It is not just one of the best films the coven brothers have directed but one of the best films that were made at the time, everything had blood and tears put into it. The message is clear and the acting is stellar. The cinematographer needs a raise definetly, if you are squeamish this is not a film for you.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
