May 1, 2009The Coen Brothers' most violent & visceral crime thriller since "Miller's Crossing".

January 5, 2010It's vastly gripping, powerful and electrifying all the way through. It's sizzling and super-charged. An intense, engaging and breathtaking movie.

February 9, 2010the Coens once again suggest that human connection trumps Hollywood-style man-alone heroism. Just compare the relaxed, warm atmosphere of the Moss trailer or the Bell homestead with the dump motels to whose garish signage, flimsy walls and soulless decorations the film pays such ...( read more)

Gripping. The Coen brothers turned a simple story into a two hour long thriller. That is the achievement of this. Javier Bardem was creepy with his cattle gun. But the ending disappointed me.

A great American film. A dark and sometimes bleakly comic vision of our violent culture. full review

Armond White, The New York Press
Deeper, funnier and even stranger than Fargo. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
No Country for Old Men is as good a film as the Coen brothers, Joel and Ethan, have ever made, and they made Fargo. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
For formalists -- those moviegoers sent into raptures by tight editing, nimble camera work and faultless sound design -- No Country for Old Men is pure heaven.

While No Country For Old Men is compelling from beginning to end, the film lacks soul. full review

If I want wry lawmen and smart, calculating fugitives, I'll get them from Elmore Leonard; and, if I want Leonard, I'll take him neat, rather than slow-filtered, drop by drop, through a layer of Faulkn... full review

Here's the gist: It's a near masterpiece. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
The Coens squeeze us without mercy in a vise of tension and suspense, but only to force us to look into an abyss of our own making. full review

Feels less like a breathing, thinking movie than an exercise. That may be partly because it's an adaptation of a book by a contemporary author who's usually spoken of in hushed, respectful, hat-in-han... full review

March 15, 2009I can't for the life of me understand how anyone can say one negative thing about this movie. It was a cinematic masterpiece. Good movie or great movie would be the only debate I could see. Call it!

October 18, 2008Hmmm...sad to say I found it thoroughly dark...with some dark humor thrown in...Woody Harrelson was memorial as the dudded up "cleaner" hit man hired to hit the psychopathic/drug dealer gone awry.

July 20, 2008Great Thriller, Tons of Suspense, Horrifying, but... Excellent movie, A must watch ;-) Enjoy

July 15, 2008Josh brolin's death killed the thrill of the movie. until then it was very nice. I think atonem,ent deserved the oscar better.

July 12, 2008People who didn't like this film, don't know what they are saying. You are not a fan of film if you say this is not a good film.

June 27, 2008I haven't seen No Country (yet), but on InfamousHugo's statement: like you say, you don't have to love a film for it to be good. I mean, I didn't particularly enjoy Titanic or The Godfather but they're still great pieces of cinema. Perhaps what other commenters are saying is that they just didn't enjoy it or were bored, not that the film itself is badly made.

May 15, 2008Do people really lack intelligence or is it that they absolutely need giant robots to say a film is good ? This film is deep on so many levels, its a masterful piece of art, not some garbage piece of easy entertainment. Go get your brain when you left it last time you used it and try telling me this isnt such a good film. Im not saying you have to love it, but at least you cant deny its a great piece of cinema. By the way, Transformers ISNT. What kind of world do we live in ?

April 23, 2008i still don't get the end. can someone explain it to me because that one of the weirdst end i have seen in my life.

April 22, 2008Unfortunately "No Country For Old Men" falls into the "All Hype and No Sizzle Trap". Although it gets kudos for going against the norm as being not like every other plot and character development. For instance, how you think that certain characters would play a main role and there would be some sort of big show down in the end. I myself would have like to seen "Into The Wild" as a contender for "Best Picture" at the Oscars. For the winner it should have been "Atonement".

April 16, 2008It was so boring. Fell asleep near the end of the movie or probably 30-40 mins left in the movie. I see the plot of the movie Read the great reviews, but was disappointed half way thru the movie. All I saw in the movie was a guy finding drugs, money and running away from the guy thats after him. I was going like "Whaa...?" 10-15 mins into the movie. The acting was good, but thats about it. This movie was not theater or rental worthy.
