"No Country..." is terrific for a number of reasons but the thing that stands out most to me is....silence. There's no cheesy incidental music score to intrude on the story and cue viewers on when to feel tension, sorrow or fear, it just tells the story and that makes it a masterpiece, plain and simple, deep and true. The cast is stellar from top to bottom (congrats to Javier Bardem on a much deserved Oscar win!) but special notice goes to Josh Brolin as Llewelyn Moss whose performance is, in my opinion, the heart of this movie. He exhibits anger, vulnerability, wry humor, courage and split-second cunning without overacting or slipping into self parody, a GREAT piece of acting in an even GREATER FILM. Essential viewing.
