Story: |
"No Country for Old Men" is a mesmerizing new thriller from Academy Award winning
filmmakers Joel Coen & Ethan Coen, based on the acclaimed novel by Pulitzer
Prize winning American master Cormac McCarthy. The time is our own, when rustlers
have given way to drug-runners and small towns have become free-fire zones.
The story begins when Llewelyn Moss (Brolin) finds a pickup truck surrounded by a
sentry of dead men. A load of heroin and two million dollars in cash are still
in the back. When Moss takes the money, he sets off a chain reaction of catastrophic
violence that not even the law - in the person of aging, disillusioned Sheriff
Bell (Jones) - can contain. As Moss tries to evade his pursuers - in particular a
mysterious mastermind who flips coins for human lives (Bardem) - the film
simultaneously strips down the American crime drama and broadens its concerns to
encompass themes as ancient as the Bible and as bloodily contemporary as this
morning's headlines.
