Wendy Ide Times (UK) Roger Deakins’s cinematography is as much a star of the film as any of the cast. Nov 21, 2023 Full Review Joe Sommerlad Independent (UK) The Coen Brothers are back with a triumphant return to form. Feb 28, 2018 Full Review Liz Hoggard 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. Jan 11, 2018 Full Review Aaron Neuwirth 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 Dec 30, 2024 Full Review Rudie Obias Battleship Pretension No Country For Old Men is a great film from two great directors. Dec 24, 2024 Full Review Cory Woodroof 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.

Daniel C. M The Coen's masterpiece about fate, injustice and adapting for the future plus letting go of the past, even if its for the worse. This is a special kind of film, one that actually never holds the viewer's hand and challenges you to use your intellect. Guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat not only because of the directors and their quirky but very welcomed artistic decisions (not including any kind of soundtrack until the very end is one of them), but also because it includes one of the greatest performances of this century to date: Javier Bardem as the ruthless and nightmare-inducing hitman Anton Chigurh. This is a modern classic and one of the best movies of this century, one that will be seen in the future the same way we see movies like The Godfather nowadays. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/15/25 Full Review Dan B I thought the movie was well made and the acting was superb, the only problem for me was the ending, I have to admit I was a little disappointed.. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/25 Full Review Manash R Worst movie I've ever seen... Totally waste of 2 hours... If there's is no story no clear plot then Is it really matter how good you act. Many says it's depict realism... Yeah It has realism that much Tarentino's movies has. If someone like this movie at first watch without watching any video or explanation then I'm wrong. Everyone of them tell something that's not even in movie. Is it a movie? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/29/25 Full Review Kirk R The movie is exceptional up until the blunder at the end by the directors. They give you great thrills up unti the end which they completely botch by leaving the fate of the protogonist to be decided to an offscreen ending. Very anticlimatic. It could have been one of th greatest movies of all time. All the experts talking about the viewers who compalined should go watch an 80s action movie need to have their heads checked. The end is disappointing and leaves you without feleling incomplete. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/26/25 Full Review Colton A After 2 hours we get left wondering why we picked this movie to begin with. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/05/25 Full Review Connor H One of the best villain actors of our time, great acting all around, with a script that's actually believable. Surprised it took me this long to watch it. 89% Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review Read all reviews
