NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN [2007]

The Coen Brothers take us through another nihilistic and violent world in the western noir film No Country For Old Men faithfully based off of Cormac McCarthy's novel of the same name.
Feeling like a throwback to Blood Simple, The Coens masterfully create tension, broodiness and an underlying killer sense of humor in this tale about fate and circumstance.  It's ruthless, disturbing, hypnotizing and all around great filmmaking at it's finest.
