1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die list
The Coen Brothers usual sense of humor is missing from this bleak adaptation of Cormac Mccarthy's novel which is one of the reasons that the Academy Awards finally took them seriously. Also, features a interesting trio of main characters who only encounter each other in passing: Sheriff Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), who is still trying to do the right thing, Llweylyn Moss (Josh Brolin) a welder who finds a stash of cash and quickly finds himself in over his head, and Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), an assassin who is guaranteed to give you nightmares.
