Based on the novel of the same name, No Country for Old Men follows Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) who comes across the aftermath of a drug deal gone wrong. With everyone dead and the drugs and money just sat there for the taking, the temptation is too much and Moss takes the cash and goes on the run. Hot on his tail is ruthless killer Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), who very much would like that money back and will happily kill anyone who gets in his way. And tailing HIM is sheriff Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) who realises the situation and hopes to stop it before the piles of bodies increase any more.
I have to say, this film is pretty awesome. The story is engaging, with war vet Moss doing everything in his power to stay one step ahead of the deadly Chigurh. The performances are great, in particular Javier Bardem - who is completely convincing as the intimidating yet ice cold killer. You end up genuinely rooting for Moss as he escapes time and time again by the skin of his teeth, and if it wasn't for the... well frankly a bit crap ending this would have been a masterpiece. As is though it is still very much worth your time.
