DVD Reviews of No Country for Old Men [Blu-ray]

DVD Review: Depraved
Summary: 1 Stars

I don't understand why this film is so highly praised. What is it really about? If the answer is that it is an examination of ultraviolence, then what is our response, our counter to this spectacle? The film seems to say that there is no counter, that we're stupid, greedy, idiots who can't get out of our own way enough to save our own skin. When confronted with evil we sell out our families, betray our morals, and act so stupidly that we're all but predetermined to fail. That's a harsh indictment of man's ingenuity, perseverance, and moral fiber; I think it's BS.

DVD Review: had so much potential...
Summary: 1 Stars

Don't get me wrong, the cinematography's great, but that's about it. The story is drawn out and overly slow. The plot and content of the movie is where everything goes wrong, especially towards the end. I don't want to give anything away - but prepare yourself to be angry. This is definitely a "one-timer"; as there's not enough content to forget. Dull, dusty, and drab - rather fitting given the real-life setting...

DVD Review: Very Intense
Summary: 5 Stars

Follows the Cormac McCarthy Novel quite well. Could be considered disturbing to some viewers. 5 Star however.

DVD Review: Ridiculously overrated film
Summary: 1 Stars

Perhaps in an era of corrupt leaders and illegal warfare we don't deserve better films than this, but my hope is that we can begin to rise above our sad appetite for the sort of pointless violence glorified in this movie. No Country for Old Men is easily one of the worst films I've ever seen. It's a predictable (and often boring) epic of graphic killing with a thin plot and even thinner characters. Despite all the hype surrounding this picture, there's nothing redeeming or insightful to be found here. Don't waste your time!

DVD Review: Don't waste your money!!!
Summary: 1 Stars

I thought it would be pretty good after I heard that it won an academy award, but I was wrong. Reminds me of Fargo which I didn't like either. Save your money on this one.

Description of No Country for Old Men [Blu-ray]

Miramax No Country For Old Men (Blu-ray)
Acclaimed filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen deliver their most gripping and ambitious film yet in this sizzling and supercharged action-thriller. When a man stumbles on a bloody crime scene, a pickup truck loaded with heroin, and two million dollars in irresistible cash, his decision to take the money sets off an unstoppable chain reaction of violence. Not even West Texas law can contain it. Based on the novel byPulitzer Prize-winning author Cormac McCarthy, and featuring an acclaimed cast led by Tommy Lee Jones, this gritty game of cat and mouse will take you to the edge of your seat and beyond - right up to its heart-stopping final moment.

The Coen brothers make their finest thriller since Fargo with a restrained adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel. Not that there aren't moments of intense violence, but No Country for Old Men is their quietest, most existential film yet. In this modern-day Western, Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) is a Vietnam vet who could use a break. One morning while hunting antelope, he spies several trucks surrounded by dead bodies (both human and canine). In examining the site, he finds a case filled with $2 million. Moss takes it with him, tells his wife (Kelly Macdonald) he's going away for awhile, and hits the road until he can determine his next move. On the way from El Paso to Mexico, he discovers he's being followed by ex-special ops agent Chigurh (an eerily calm Javier Bardem). Chigurh's weapon of choice is a cattle gun, and he uses it on everyone who gets in his way--or loses a coin toss (as far as he's concerned, bad luck is grounds for death). Just as Sheriff Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), a World War II vet, is on Moss's trail, Chigurh's former colleague, Wells (Woody Harrelson), is on his. For most of the movie, Moss remains one step ahead of his nemesis. Both men are clever and resourceful--except Moss has a conscience, Chigurh does not (he is, as McCarthy puts it, "a prophet of destruction"). At times, the film plays like an old horror movie, with Chigurh as its lumbering Frankenstein monster. Like the taciturn terminator, No Country for Old Men doesn't move quickly, but the tension never dissipates. This minimalist masterwork represents Joel and Ethan Coen and their entire cast, particularly Brolin and Jones, at the peak of their powers. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
