MOVIE POSTER MONDAY: No Country for Old Men

History has proven that the Coen Brothers know how to do menacing. Blood Simple. Miller’s Crossing. Fargo. This poster follows right in line with that legacy.
It’s actually one in a series, and the other two have similar shots of guys brandishing weapons. One says “There Are No Laws Left.” The second says “You Can’t Stop What’s Coming.”
Intimidated yet?
How about this? You’ve got dead bodies, cash, drugs and some serious southwestern violence. You’ve got Tommy Lee Jones, Grindhouse badass Josh Brolin and Javier Bardem. And you’ve got some big-time acclaim: No Country for Old Men received a Golden Palm nomination at Cannes, and has a
9.1 on IMDb, with over 500 votes recorded.
LIKE IT, LOVE IT, HATE IT? TELL US
The movie hits theaters November 21, ripe for Oscar pickin’.

This movie is the best that I watched recently. The plot is very original and intriguing. I was surprised by the fact that Tommy Lee Jones did nothing during whole movie, he was just appearing here and there, but he didn’t affected development of story at all.
