Dark, scary, witty and intelligent are words which I wouldn't normally put together when reviewing a movie. But 'No Country...' deserves the description.
I had heard that some people were dissatisfied with the ending but I thought that, although the plot is very simple, the title of the movie explains the ending and it all hangs together very well. We discover, late on in the movie that it is set in 1980. This explains why there are plenty of Vietnam war veterans around which in turn explains why ordinary looking men are so adept at combat-level first aid, and also so very good with guns.
Anton Chigurh a.k.a. Anton Sugar (Javier Bardem) is quite possibly the scariest (without a mask) psycho killer I have ever seen. His voice is chilling and his facial expressions are enough to give you nightmares. He carries out matter-of-fact murders á la The Terminator and patches himself up in a similar way (with the same nod to Rambo-style self repair).
The dialogue grabs your attention and keeps you hooked for most of the movie. I say most because there were a few times when I really couldn't understand what was being said - so strong was the southern drawl. But that is the only minor criticism of a wonderful movie that thoroughly deserved it's Oscars |
