The 28th American Film Institute 100 Years"100 Best Movies" List No Country for Old Men at No. 36 Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory novel inspired the movie Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
There's a solid chance that reading the quote"What's the most you've ever lost in a coin toss?
" elicits full-body shudders. Audiences have been haunted since 2007 by the nihilistic implications behind Joel Coen and Ethan Coen's magnum opus, otherwise known as No Country for Old Men. Such high praise is subjective, given how the brothers built their joint career upon revered masterpieces like Blood Simple and Fargo. Still, it's difficult to argue against No Country for Old Men's acclaim as a formidable feat of technical eloquence, pitiless gore, and meditative, funereal grief about the human condition.
The Western Thriller 'No Country for Old Men' Is a Suspense Masterclass Working-class welder Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) goes on the run after stealing a briefcase stuffed with more money than he and his wife Carla Jean (Kelly Macdonald) would ever see within their lifetimes. From the second he succumbs to temptation, a time bomb counts down until the moment hired hitman Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), local sheriff Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), and bounty hunter Carson Wells' (Woody Harrelson) paths intersect.
However, three of the four tenacious parties fail to realize that in this cat and mouse game, everyone besides Chigurh is livestock awaiting execution. The Coens' structural precision never wastes a moment.
