At the end of the movie, we all sat, each and every one of the audience members sat, in a moment of awkward silence. Unsure of how to react. The credits rolled.

Silence.

Silence.

After about a minute and half of silence, eventually we realised....it was over.

In this movie No Country for Old Men, the Cohen Brothers manage to immerse us into a world so flawed and obscure that it is difficult to drag ourselves back into reality.

Set in the Southern States of America, a lonesome man out hunting finds himself a situation of pure bewilderment. Dead Mexicans, a stash of heroin and a briefcase with more than $2 million cash in it. What do you do?

That's what this film is about. Decisions. They decide your faith. Whether you will live or die. Whether you're selfish or a hero. Or just plain insane.

Deciding to take the cash AND run with it, our supposed "hero" has made one mighty decision that will tempt his life.

We have on the other hand, the mad man, the baddy the crazy serial killer. Anton Chigurh. Played absolutely to perfection by Janvier Bardem. (in my opinion reminded me slightly of the equally insane Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs, maybe it was just the voice) he lives his life on decision, that faith brought us to where we are. That no matter what happens you brought it on yourself. Often deciding whether some ones life is over with a coin toss. How convenient. He has no mercy, he's rootless and looking for his briefcase of money.

That's the thing about this movie, it isn't quite as clear cut as good vs. evil as you may think. More man vs. man, both equally insane you could say, every action they do is based around this briefcase of money. Nothing else matters. Llewelyn Moss is the lonesome man who found this briefcase, and though he isn't quite as evil as to kill someone with a compressed air cattle gun in the forehead. He really isn't a moral figure to be honest.

With barely any dialogue what so ever this film is based on actions, a point of view and movement. The atmosphere is perfect in every seen, as you feel you are right there watching secretly. There is no background music there is nothing false about this movie, nothing glamorous. It's raw and real.

The action is surreal, bullets being shot, people killed every step took by Chigurh, a life a gambled by a choice made by a man.. A man on the run, his wife alone and vulnerable. The police trying to catch a serial killer who is after this man on the run. It's tense, it's gory with sounds of "ugh" "ew" and "niiiice" echoing the cinema. If you're squeamish I suggest you shield your eyes.

The thing about this review is, I don't want to tell you the story, I don't want to analyse it, I don't to give you a prescribed view. This film deserves more, you need a fresh mind. I don't want you going "oh yeah I know what's going to happen in this scene". This film deserves more than that.

I've never seen a film like it.
