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.

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.

Although 'No Country for Old Men' is an exciting film, wise screen violence needs more emotional depth below surface technique.
08/23/08
The Coen Brothers explore the demise of the Western with their late-80s-set drama about a simple man running from a amoral assassin.

Why, Joel and Ethan, why did you have to ruin an almost flawless film with a terrible last scene?
05/26/08
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.
05/20/08
Without overstating the case this could be Joel and Ethan Coen's finest work yet. A bruising, battering, almost religious experience.

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.
05/01/08
Retains the Coen brothers' trademark quirkiness, and it certainly goes all out. But it's also subtle in ways we haven't seen before.

The most fascinating element of the film is its formal linking of its multiple, no-nonsense protagonists. [Blu-Ray review]
03/26/08
Thank goodness that experiment in appeasing the commercial suit types is over and the quirky brothers are back to form with No Country for Old Men, a dark and violent exploration of nature's hunt and the relevance of time.
03/26/08
The problem comes when we realize it's a Tommy Lee Jones film and the title is more than just a random coincidence. It's a really good film that was almost great.
03/04/08
...the Coens sabotage their wonderfully understated style in No Country with the trivial substance of their narrative.
03/03/08
Le film représente-t-il un sommet pour ces grands cinéastes? Je serais tenté de dire oui mais le temps seul le dira.
02/29/08
This is the Coens' masterful return to Blood Simple territory. The biggest thing you'll notice is the quiet: Whether it's the lack of a soundtrack or a lack of dialogue, the silence often makes the tension unbearable.
02/28/08
What is perhaps most amazing is that a film this terrifying, violent and relentlessly nihilistic should also be this enthralling.
