NULLMore Info:
A hunter (Josh Brolin) stumbles upon a dead body, $2 million and a stash of heroin in the woods. He absconds with the cash, but brutal thief Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) comes looking for it, with a local sheriff (Tommy Lee Jones) on his trail. The roles of hunter and prey blur as the violent pursuits of money and justice collide.Reviews:
Best movie of 2007? We say it's a toss-up between The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Eastern Promises, The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters and this truly gripping, adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's sinister novel. When trailer-dwelling everyman Llewelyn Moss (a revelatory Josh Brolin) comes across a busted drug deal and a bag of cash in the vast West Texas expanse, his luck is counterbalanced by the kind of killer (Javier Bardem) that boggles the minds of even his pursuers (Tommy Lee Jones and Woody Harrelson). Bardem approaches his work with a devastating inevitability, doing in any and all opposition with a cattle stun gun. It's the sort of stark brutality that Jones'"as an all-but-retired small town sheriff'"has never seen and finds himself increasingly incapable of coping with. Major credit goes to the Coen Brothers, who faithfully adapted McCarthy's story without a trace of the hyper-modern self-awareness coursing through Fargo and The Big Lebowski.
