No Country for Old Men not only won 4 Oscars including Best Picture, but it would have been my #1 film of the year, if There Will Be Blood didn't come out in 2007. No Country for Old Men is the Coen Brothers best film, while some may argue that Fargo, or The Big Lebowski is, look no further than this Western noir. The film adapated for screen from Cormac McCarthys novel is the story of the nature of evil, death, and fate.
There has been much controversy regarding the ending, while I will not spoil it, I will only say that the ending to this movie is the only way the movie could have ended. Your average movie-goer will love 2/3 of this movie, but for critics and film junkies, this film is an instant classic. If you are un-sure of whether to buy this, try reading the novel first. The film is basically 100% faithful to the novel, save for a few minor things.
