No Country for Old Men Reviews
Slant Magazine
Hardly worth a double-dip, but No Country's ambient horror will pin you to the floor and slice into your neck with a taut handcuff chain.

You may scratch your head at the title, but when the credits roll, you'll know exactly what that means

The DVD looks great with the parched Texas countryside nicely conveyed in the movie's original widescreen format.

Second viewing of the Coens' Oscar-winner is just as impressive as the first, and what makes the commentary interesting is how different labels are applied to their mataphysical Western, all the way from "horror" film (per Tommy Lee Jones) to dark comedy

... the Coen brothers' adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel is their masterpiece, a perfect match of story and storyteller.

I have always found that the Coens' films get better with each viewing so I suggest giving the film another shot if you felt frustrated by the ending.
Both brutal and snowflake delicate all at once, this meditative neo-noir bears rewatching as layers and insights reveal themselves with subsequent viewings.

its deliberately ambiguous ending all but demands studied retrospection, if not repeated viewings

An unfortunately slim DVD package for the best Oscar top-dog since Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby.
Movie Metropolis
While I liked at least half of what I saw in No Country for Old Men, the movie as a whole seems merely to be different for the sake of being different.

So beautifully filmed that it seems poetic, and that makes the violence even more intense.

A brash, biblical and even comical neo-Western where cowpokes trade in lassos for Uzi's along the Tex-Mex border.
