An absolute belter of a film. It works strangely well that the main story line quickly appears out of nowhere and that there are several different groups of characters within the film. Javier Bardem steals the show, his portrayal of a "classic" psychopath (think Joe Pesci in Goodfellas) is twisted and very effective. The Coen brothers know how to make a cracking film.

This movie made me apretiate life once again, leaving many grim choices of life to the flip of the coin, and never looking back. Ive actually seen bardem at the airport in Barajas, Madrid shortly after this film came out....and by god I think I shit my pants so hard remembering his character, that I ran through security with all my coins. Fantastic movie, great suspense and leaves you hanging off your freakin seat.

This film seems to be a mere crime thriller on the surface but there is so much more to No Country For Old Men than meets the eye at first. I love the metaphoric, complex characters, the slow pace, the raw and sinister atmosphere, the unbearable suspense, the gruelling conclusion. The cast is superb, and the Coen brothers definitely know how to tell a story.

The rude awakening that Sheriff Bell endures leaves him shaken. Feeling overmatched, he blames a changed world that has left him behind. As his uncle tells him during one of the film's pivotal scenes, however: "What you got ain't nothing new. This country's hard on people. You can't stop what's coming. It ain't all waiting on you. That's vanity." Aging as a state of mind has rarely been portrayed more beautifully.

For most of my life I had my hair cut just like Javiar Bardem's character! It was awesome. I was so cool!

For me this film was all about the psychotic performance by Javier Bardem, from the moment he appeared on screen I was squirming; the eye's that cold blankish stare and super creepy hair not to mention tone of voice. And then you see the same guy cast as a romantic lead in other films! I'm both creeped-out and in awe of this actor.

Occasionally the Academy gets it spot on when it dispenses its awards and it certainly did when it gave four of its gongs, including the coveted Best Picture, to the Coen's adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel. Featuring three lead performances of equal brilliance from Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin, this gritty Texas-set thriller shows more than a hint of being influenced by the films of Peckinpah..

holivud imkanlarını kullanarak holivud dışı bi film yapmaya çalışılmış. hoştu ve kara film diye tabir edeceğimiz sınıftandı. özellikle aradaki bir kaç diyalog (bakkal amcayla bizim bardem'inki efsaneydi.) etkileyiciydi. fakat ucuz bi farklılık yaratılmaya çalışılmış. biz bunu fight club'ta, pulp fiction'da, reservoir dogs'da babalar gibi görüyoruz ama burda anlamsız bir bitişle seyirciye çelme takılmış. genelde hoştu

Exceptional. I heard the Coens talking about "procedural" activity leading to a desired effect. That certainly describes the method of the directing. Clear & unambiguously told, leading us into our own interpretations and responses to the film.

superb on every level. there's nothing i would change. the pacing was just-right: it knew when to be fast and when to be slow. Relied on a subtleties and not necessarily dialogue, one of my favorite techniques that can be used for a film's execution. Overall, a highly recommended piece of work that should be shared. Oh yeah...read the book I would like as well.

A near perfect film. Strange that it includes a call back to earlier work: Llewelyn jumps into the pickup while being chased by Chigurh. For a split second, you realize that this is the exact moment when Nic Cage carjacked the hayseed in Raising Arizona, just before the yodeling chase scene...that is, until the man's head explodes. Suddenly were dropped back into this dark masterpiece.

Key sections of the book do not translate as seamlessly to the screen as others. I am a big fan ofMcCarthy’s novel and the best parts of the book were the ruminations of Sheriff . Some of these were able to be included, many others weren’t. Just pointing out that I can't help but think about my favorite parts of the book whenever the screenplay gives room for the Sheriff to reflect. Still, a very, very good movie.

I saw this truly dreadful film on TV. Appalling drivel. Even with the subtitles on it was nearly incomprehensible. I wish I had fallen asleep.

N vi mas o nome do filme em portugues é "Onde os fracos não tem vez" se eu não me engano.
