No Country For Old Men [Blu-ray]

Watched over two evenings, found it very slow paced, but I liked this, lot of shootings among Gand members over drugs, acting top rated, loved Josh brolin who finds the drug money then has to keep ahead of drug gang leader played superbly by Javier bardem, a very evil man. Will have to watch again in one sitting, as it was so entertaining, bit paced like Paris Texas movie, but didn't detract from this film, highly recommended viewing.

Great film

I am very glad that I did not read the book before seeing the film. This is because the film is very faithful to the book and would have spoiled the surprises for me. However, there are two very significant events near the end of the film that the book cleared up for me. The film well-deserved the four Academy Awards it won. Josh Brolin was also excellent and perhaps even underrated as Llewelyn Moss. Scottish actress Kelly MacDonald was also amazing, as was her West Texas accent as his wife Carla Jean. Tommy Lee Jones was as always a great pleasure to watch. His character of Sheriff Ed Tom Bell was a much more low-key character, although very significant than his U.S. Marshal Sam Gerard. The character does not offer a chance to participate actively in any of the film's many scenes of action and violence, although the opportunity does present itself on several occasions. Javier Bardem is just stunning as Anton Chigurh, the most chillingly evil film presence since Hannibal Lecter. Even the smallest roles of the supporting cast were well-played. Woody Harrelson is great in a brief appearance as Carson Wells, who is sent to seemingly reel-in or subdue Anton Chigurh, although the film does not offer a very clear explanation of his character or actions. It would seem that the character was sent on a damage control mission. The Academy Award winning cinematography by Roger Deakins presents a great look at the harsh and inhospitable landscape of West Texas. I only wish I had taken the time to see this great film on the big screen. It will stay with you long after you see it. It demands repeat viewings to fully appreciate. It is brutal and shocking, yet fascinating. I haven't been kept in such suspense and tension by a film for a very long time.

For many a year, Joel and Ethna Coen, have been giving us the dramatic, the tragic, the action, and the humour, and No Country For Old Men is no exception, especially on Blu-Ray Disc. Based on the American Cormac McCarthy's novel this picture follows the story of a simple texan man, Llwelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) who happens to stumble upon a drug deal gone wrong and a case full of millions of dollars, it all seems to good to be true, it is. Moss is brutally and mercilessly hunted down by Anton Chigur, played by the electric Javier Bardam, who mind you bagged an Oscar for this, all the while Tommy Lee Jone's Character investigates, the story focusing on the contrast between his compassion and goodness and Bardam's brutal,violent and seemingly unstoppable reign of terror. Not only has this movie won several Academy Awards but it has also captured my focus, it's somewhat a typical Coen Movie, you have the dashes of action, the antisipation of story, and the hints of humour. It is exceptionally well-shot and in blu-ray the visuals get the best possible portrayl, crisp, tender and utterly tantalizing picture will have you imersed like you've never been imersed before, the sound too is fantastic, shots wizzing past and fantastically balanced audio will have you on the edge of your seat. If you enjoy the Coen Brothers you'll no doubt enjoy "No Country For Old Men", a masterpiece. 10/10 Picture - If you havent seen it, go now, if you have, go again. 9/10 Audio 10/10 Acting 8/10 Story - The Film does not stay true to its novel, entertaining none the less i assure you!

This is one of the best films I’ve seen for a long time. The acting was superb. The three lead characters were clearly defined and very different. Javier Bardem as the psychopathic multiple killer Anton Chigurh was quite outstanding. Almost every time his face changed expression, the hairs stood up on the back of my neck. The story basically is about a man finding a suitcase full of money and deciding to keep it. Simple, straightforward stuff. Almost every scene builds up to a blood stained climax or a narrow escape. The minor characters are well done too. Mrs Moss played by the lovely Kelly Macdonald was charming and Woody Harrelson was excellent as a rational hitman. My only problem with this film is the ending which lacked resolution (as others have pointed out). In one way, this is not important - there was never going to be a ‘happy ending’ and justice was never going to be done. In fact a happy ending would have been out of place and probably ruined the ‘existentialist’ message of the film – which seems to be ‘life is a bitch, get on with it’. Be that as it may, I was left unsatisfied at the end, which may reflect more badly on me than on the film. All the same, because of the sustained brilliance of the direction, script and film making, I would strongly recommend it.

5 STAR SERVICE Item as described New & unused. Seller recommended

Strange that so many reviewers take a jab at the film because of the ending. The quiet ending *was* the point. The Sheriff was irrelevant in this new, more violent time, in his heyday he was used to cuffing kids around the ear rather than booking them, and then seeing them generally turn into decent adults. But Javier Bardem's character, Anton Chigurh, is the personification of this new breed of "bad guy" that does deals out in the no-mans-land of the US/Mexican border areas. Remorseless and bereft of conscience, he sees murder simply as a means to an end. Against this new breed of criminal, the Sheriff is now an irrelevance, just so much chaff to be thrown to the winds of time. He couldn't stand in the way of these new criminals for a moment, and he knows it. This film is about the investigation that finally broke him, the couple he couldn't save, and which results in his handing in his badge, decamping with his wife to a safer, quieter spot and finally admitting that he is outmatched. Those who didn't read the book beforehand (I'd read it 2 years previously) were probably taken in by the action scenes in the various clips and teasers, and expected a full-on action adventure. For me, the film was faultless. The cinematography excellent, the dialogue true to the book, including some parts of the book I laughed aloud to read, e.g. "It's a mess, ain't it". "well, if it ain't, it'll do 'til the mess gets here". There was nothing here to dislike. Characterisation was excellent, the acting likewise, usually completely loose and natural. So, if you were one of those that didn't like the ending, please don't blame the film. Read the book while you're waiting for the film release, and don't be taken in by trailers in future.

Very good service and product. Ty

Uno dei film più belli in assoluto dei Coen, che riesce a mantenerti incollato allo schermo dall'inizio alla fine. (Confermo che questa edizione comprende la lingua italiana)

100 % OK Goede verzending van besteld item beantwoorde volledig aan de beschrijving van de verkoper ( uiterst tevreden ) :-):-):-)

Si bien no es reconocida por ser una película de acción, si es una película bastante densa y con temas muy interesantes, y unas actuaciones bastante espectaculares, muy recomendada para quienes gustan del cine con cierto toque filosófico y acción viene subtitulada al español, pero no doblada

Klasse Film, der bis zum Schluss spannend bleibt. Bild und Ton sind gut. Die Schauspieler sind gut gewählt, und mache einen tollen Job. Was mir auch sehr gut gefällt, das der Film ohne Musik auskommt. Das macht ihn noch spannender, da man richtig in die Geschichte eintauchen kann, ohne von Musik abgelenkt zu werden. Nicht wie die heutigen Filme, wo jede Szene mit Musik untermalt ist. Klare Kauf Empfehlung für diesen tollen Film.

Brand new in clear wrapper as advertised. The shipping was fast and movie was a great price. As for the movie itself, its a good movie, slower then a normal action movie, but the story is great, acting is great. Watch it if you haven't
