The main thing about this movie I love is the way the Coen brothers use sound, particularly silence, to create tension. There is not a ton of dialogue in the movie, much of the film is just silent. One scene in particular that really stood out to me was the one where Llewelyn was fashioning a hook to retrieve the package of money from the air vents while Chigurh was moving from room to room attempting to locate the case. There was no dialogue at all through that whole sequence of events other than Chigurh talking to the man in the bathtub. But you could feel the tension building slowly, as this monster of a villain made his way toward our average joe protagonist. That leads me into my next point - Chigurh is an excellent villain, he's not too cliche, but he is also clearly defined as a villain enough to where the audience won't mistake him for a anti-hero type. I believe the decision to use the oxygen tank weapon was incredible. It makes Chigurh an incredibly unique character, and every shot of his heavy boots with the oxygen tank was terrifying and built tension very well. That's what this whole movie is about, suspense and tension. They pull these off very well. The reason I don't want to give this a 10 is because I feel as if the plot is still a little too cliche for my liking. The actual story telling, filming, and dialogue were all exquisite, but the story was a very predictable one, typical western style stuff.Overall, the uniqueness of Chigurh's character, the suspense/tension built during Chigurh/Llewelyn's showdowns, and most of Chigurh's dialogue all create a wonderful, gripping, suspenseful film that deserves a good watch.

I have seen this film five times now. Watching it for the fifth time has revealed how strong its more thrilling elements are in addition to reinforcing the clean-cut precision of the Coen brothers' filmmaking. The story is very bare-bones but also incredibly complex; many essential plot components will likely go over the audience's head the first time around.The idea at this film's center is that of a modern Western, one which turns the genre's many conventions straight onto their heads. It is never uplifting. Its ending is a denouement rather than a climactic shootout and though there is plenty of violence in the film, it often isn't shown in the way you would expect. There isn't even a clear hero, and the character who is closest to being the film's moral center is, it is discovered, himself a little naive. Even with my having seen it so many times and done my fair share of research, I must concede that the ending is still little more than a cinematic head-scratcher, as they say. That and one or two of the other more subversive story elements trip up the narrative somewhat. They seem to exist a little more for the director's benefit rather than the audience's. I only wish that the message were a little more clear.That said, "No Country for Old Men" is a marvel of a film. The performances are heroic, most notably Javier Bardem's truly intimidating portrayal of Anton Chigurh, the calm, ghostly assassin who silently stalks his prey and plays by his own demented rulebook. Roger Deakins' being behind the camera ensures absolute perfection in the cinematography department. The picture also has a quiet atmosphere to it; the sun shines over the dead Texas dunes as the wind drifts smoothly by, suggesting an impermanence to the world in which these horrible events take place. It's a near-perfect movie and one that I'd highly recommend to anybody with a taste for thrillers that have real staying power.
