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.

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

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.

4/4

No Country for Old Men is a delirious drama that often echoes such classics as Psycho, Touch of Evil, and Chinatown.

5/5

The folksy characters typical of the Coens’ work are perfectly juxtaposed against the ruthlessness of Bardem’s incomparable performance. Both the landscape and soundscape are simultaneously barren and rich, mirroring the understated yet powerful dialogue.

Whether the Coens have made better movies is subject to opinion but there is something incontrovertible about No Country’s status as god-tier filmmaking. Repeat viewings do nothing to lessen its staggering power.

I love the pace of these movie. It creates the perfect amount of suspense without forcing it. Very authentic and real life sense of tension. All of the actors in the movie are first rate and guided with excellent directing. Javier Bardem however of course os the focal point and commands attention while saying very little. Did I mention the pace was absolutely perfect? Top ten cinema all time.
