No Country for Old Men
USA 2007  |  122 mins  |  15

This has to be a first for us, screening a film that won both the Best Film and Best Director Oscars, but when that film is made by a back-on-form Joel and Ethan Coen all bets are off. When reserved Vietnam veteran Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) stumbles on the bloody aftermath of a drug deal gone wrong he decides to keep the cash, but soon finds himself hunted by sympathetic sheriff Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) and a highly dangerous and remorseless assassin, an Oscar-winning performance from Spanish actor Javier Bardem. Tense, humorous, beautifully shot and played, this could be the Coens' best film to date.
