No Country For Old Men

     Not only is this one of the best movies that the Coen brothers ever made but it also established Josh Brolin as a leading man. The story is based on the Cormac McCarthy novel about a rogue intelligence officer (Javier Bardem), a good ol' boy who was in the wrong place at the wrong time (Josh Brolin), and the local sheriff (Tommy Lee Jones). Their lives are set on a collision course after a drug deal goes wrong in the middle of a Texas desert.
     One of the things I really enjoy about this movie is the way they tell the story. The details are in the subtleties and you have to focus on the characters to get the plot line. If you get the chance, you really should see this movie.
