Consensus: Another triumph for the Coen Brothers, No Country has the perfect mixture of suspense, humor, and desperately compelling performances. The seemingly simple story hides a more complex narrative, and high tension is maintained throughout.

Jul 6, 2010
McCarthy's bloody and beautiful novel comes to life under the Coen's able touch.
Jun 12, 2010
The decade's most overrated movie
Aug 25, 2009
Once you open Pandora's Box, there's simply no stopping the beasts that pour out.
Apr 24, 2009
What starts off as the best Charles Bronson movie not to star Charles Bronson ends up as a literary adaptation of a novel that thinks it means something or other.
Apr 23, 2009
No Country for Old Men is the brothers at their most polished, austere, and humorless.
Apr 23, 2009
When you see No Country for Old Men, leave your preconceptions at home. But bring your Alfred Hitchcock lenses. They're useful. No Country for Old Men is a dazzling time-bomb of a movie. It is an engrossing, brutal, nerve-wracking moral tale
Feb 2, 2009
For a film that traffics in implacable malice, this movie remains remarkably grounded in the everyday.

This is some of Brolin's best work to date, though the film still belongs to Bardem and Jones, whose low-key mannerisms are well-suited to the Coens' sensibilities.
Oct 18, 2008
McCarthy's ferocious tale gives the Coens room to unleash their cinematic gifts, but keeps them from wandering too far afield and losing themselves in the marshes of technical prowess or easy irony.
Sep 18, 2008
Top CriticAlthough 'No Country for Old Men' is an exciting film, wise screen violence needs more emotional depth below surface technique.
Aug 23, 2008
Not since Fargo have the Coen Brothers made such a perfect movie.
Aug 18, 2008
The Coen Brothers explore the demise of the Western with their late-80s-set drama about a simple man running from a amoral assassin.
Aug 10, 2008
Why, Joel and Ethan, why did you have to ruin an almost flawless film with a terrible last scene?
May 26, 2008
I was a little worried when I went to see "No Country for Old Men" because many people have been labeling it a masterpiece, but for once all the hype is warranted.
May 20, 2008
No Country for Old Men is the kind of film that will only cement the opinion you already have about its uniquely eccentric makers. Approach the ticket booth accordingly.
May 1, 2008
Retains the Coen brothers' trademark quirkiness, and it certainly goes all out. But it's also subtle in ways we haven't seen before.
Apr 15, 2008
The most fascinating element of the film is its formal linking of its multiple, no-nonsense protagonists. [Blu-Ray review]
