Full Review:
This movie was the Oscar winner for best picture. Javier Bardem also won best supporting actor. It is based on the story by Cormac McCarthy, the writer of All the Pretty Horses. This movie was well done, but the subject is intense, depressing, and violent. Javier Bardem plays Chigurh who kills just because, if he makes up his mind to kill someone no one can stop him. Out in Texas a man, Josh Brolin, comes across a drug deal gone bad. People are dead, there are cars around and dead dogs, and a truck with a lot of drugs in the back. He walks further until he finds a case with $2 million in it. He plans to keep the money and not tell anyone...this doesn't work out. The movie follows him running from Chigurh, a sociopath out to kill him and get the money. Chigurh will kill anyone, for his own his reasons, and it's not a big deal to him. Also looking for Chigurh is the local sheriff played by Tommy Lee Jones. What will happen? Will Chirgurh find and kill his man? How many people will die along the way? Will the sheriff find him and stop him? The first half of the movie is good, it keeps you watching. About three quarters in it slows down, I even started to fall asleep. There are many parts with no dialogue, which isn't bad. I liked the movie at first, but then it slowed down. There is a lot of killing, so be prepared for that. And the ending, well it is what it is...depressing and sad.
