No Country for Old Men is a 2007 crimethriller film adapted for the screen and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, starring Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, and Javier Bardem. Adapted from the Cormac McCarthy novel of the same name,^[1][2] No Country for Old Men tells the story of a drug deal gone bad and the ensuing cat-and-mouse drama, as three men crisscross each other's paths in the desert landscape of 1980 West Texas. The film examines the themes of fate and circumstance the Coen brothers have previously explored in Blood Simple and Fargo.

No Country for Old Men has been highly praised by critics. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times called it "as good a film as the Coen brothers?have ever made."^[3] Guardian journalist John Patterson said the film proved "that the Coens' technical abilities, and their feel for a landscape-based Western classicism reminiscent of Anthony Mann and Sam Peckinpah, are matched by few living directors."^[4] The film was honored with numerous awards, garnering three British Academy of Film awards, two Golden Globes, and four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay.

Plot

The film opens with shots of desolate, wide-open country in West Texas in June 1980, where local sheriff Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) tells of the changing times as the region becomes increasingly violent. As he concludes his voiceover, antagonist Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), is arrested by a sheriff's deputy. At the sheriff's station, Chigurh strangles the deputy with his handcuffs, escaping custody in a stolen patrol car, which he uses to pull over a driver, whom he murders with a captive bolt pistol before stealing his car.

Meanwhile, Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin), hunts pronghorn near the Rio Grande when he discovers a group of corpses, vehicles and a lone dying Mexican, the aftermath of a drug deal gone awry. He also finds two million dollars in a satchel a short distance from the massacre. Initially stealing the money and leaving the Mexican to die, Moss suffers a pang of conscience later that night and returns with water for the dying man. Discovered by returning Mexican gangsters, Moss barely escapes and is forced to abandon his truck at the site of the unsuccessful drug deal. The next morning, the gangsters, Chigurh, and Bell all use the truck's registration number to identify Moss and his residence.

Returning to his trailer, Moss places his wife Carla Jean (Kelly Macdonald), on a bus to her mother's home in Odessa, Texas before leaving town himself, steps ahead of Chigurh, a professional hitman hired to retrieve the satchel of money, who arrives at Moss's abandoned trailer. Chigurh uses a radio receiver to track Moss to a motel in Del Rio, Texas where Moss has hidden the satchel inside an air vent. As he returns to his motel, Moss discovers that the Mexican gangsters have followed him and now wait to ambush him in his hotel room. Moss rents an adjacent room and retrieves the satchel through the common vent, just as Chigurh bursts into Moss's original room and slaughters the Mexicans. Searching for the satchel, Chigurh notices the vent cover, unscrews it from the wall using a dime, and looks inside before realizing that Moss has escaped with the money. Using the receiver again, Chigurh tracks Moss to a border town hotel, just as Moss discovers the radio transponder hidden in the satchel of money. Moments later, Chigurh arrives, and the two engage in a intense firefight that spills onto the streets.

Narrowly escaping death by crossing the border, the wounded Moss wakes up in a Mexican hospital and meets Carson Wells (Woody Harrelson), another operative hired by the drug buyer (Stephen Root, who is subsequently killed by Chigurh in Root's office). After Moss rejects Wells's offer to save his life, Wells returns to his hotel where he is killed by Chigurh just as Moss calls his room. Picking up the phone, Chigurh offers to spare Carla Jean if Moss forfeits the money, although Moss himself would still be killed. It is an offer that Moss angrily rejects, choosing instead to rendezvous with Carla Jean in El Paso to give her the money and send her out of harm?s way. Carla Jean, worried for Moss's safety, contacts Sheriff Bell and gives him the location of the meet. Meanwhile, Carla's mother unknowingly reveals the location of their meeting with Moss to a disguised Mexican gangster. Sheriff Bell arrives at the hotel moments after the conclusion of a massive firefight that has left Moss dead. Later that night, Carla Jean arrives to discover the fate of her husband.

After dinner with the local sheriff, Sheriff Bell returns to the now-quiet motel and finds that the lock to Moss's hotel room door has been blown out. Chigurh is shown hiding behind the door of a motel room as he observes Bell in the reflection of the empty lock hole. His gun drawn, Bell enters the room where Moss was killed and notices the vent cover has been removed with a dime. Bell eventually leaves without encountering Chigurh.

Days later, Bell visits his Uncle Ellis (Barry Corbin), an ex-lawman. Bell is planning to retire due to his weariness of the changing times, but Ellis points out that the region has always been violent. He accuses the despondent Bell of "vanity" in thinking that he could personally make a difference. Meanwhile, Carla Jean returns home from her mother's funeral to find Chigurh lying in wait. Chigurh tells Carla Jean that although he "gave Llewelyn his word" that he would kill her if Moss did not hand over the money, he is willing to offer her the opportunity to gamble her life on a coin toss. Carla Jean, disgusted by the gesture, refuses to call the coin toss, saying that the choice is ultimately up to him.

Moments later, Chigurh leaves Carla jean's house, checking the soles of his boots before stepping into his car. As Chigurh drives away he is seriously injured in a car accident in which his left arm is badly broken; he manages, however, to leave the scene before the police arrive.

Now retired, Bell reflects on his life choices with his wife (Tess Harper) over breakfast in their home. Bell relates two dreams he had, both involving his deceased father who was also a lawman. Bell tells that in the first dream he lost "some money" that his father had given him; in the second dream, he and his father were riding horses through a snowy mountain pass. His father, who was carrying fire in a horn, quietly passed by Bell with his head down and was "going on ahead, and fixin' to make a fire" in the surrounding dark and cold. When Bell got there, his father would be waiting. Bell closes the dream and the movie with, "And then I woke up."

Themes and style

While No Country for Old Men is a "doggedly faithful" adaptation of McCarthy's 2005 novel and its themes, the film also revisits themes which the Coens had explored in their earlier movies Blood Simple and Fargo.^[5] The novel's motifs of chance, free-will, and predestination are familiar territory for the Coen brothers, who presented similar threads and tapestries of "fate [and] circumstance" in earlier works including Raising Arizona featuring another seemingly un-killable maniacal hitman, albeit less nihilistic in tone.^[6][7] Numerous critics cited the importance of chance to both the novel and the film, focusing on Chigurh's fate-deciding coin flipping,^[8] but noted that the nature of the film medium made it difficult to include the "self-reflective qualities of McCarthy?s novel."^[9]

In The Village Voice, Scott Foundas writes that "Like McCarthy, the Coens are markedly less interested in who (if anyone) gets away with the loot than in the primal forces that urge the characters forward? In the end, everyone in No Country for Old Men is both hunter and hunted, members of some endangered species trying to forestall their extinction."^[10] Roger Ebert writes that "the movie demonstrates how pitiful ordinary human feelings are in the face of implacable injustice."^[11]

New York Times critic A.O. Scott points out that Chigurh, Moss, and Bell each "occupy the screen one at a time, almost never appearing in the frame together, even as their fates become ever more intimately entwined."^[12]

Variety critic Todd McCarthy describes Chigurh's modus operandi:

Production

Producer Scott Rudin bought the book rights to McCarthy's novel and suggested a film adaptation to the Coen Brothers, who at the time were attempting to adapt the novel To the White Sea by James Dickey.^[13] By August 2005, the Coen Brothers agreed to write and direct a film adaptation of No Country for Old Men, having identified with how the novel provided a sense of place and also how it played with genre conventions. Joel Coen said of the unconventional approach, "That was familiar, congenial to us; we're naturally attracted to subverting genre. We liked the fact that the bad guys never really meet the good guys, that McCarthy did not follow through on formula expectations."^[13][14] The Coens also identified the appeal of the novel to be its "pitiless quality". Ethan Coen explained, "That's a hallmark of the book, which has an unforgiving landscape and characters but is also about finding some kind of beauty without being sentimental." The adaptation was to be the second of McCarthy's work, following the 2000 film All the Pretty Horses.^[15]

Writing

The brothers kept the script faithful to the book, only pruning the story where necessary.^[13] The script was so faithful to the novel that Ethan described the screenwriting process by saying, "[O]ne of us types into the computer while the other holds the spine of the book open flat."^[4] A teenage runaway who appeared late in the book and the backstory related to Bell were both removed.^[16] Also changed from the source material was Carla Jean Moss' reaction when finally faced with the imposing figure of Chigurh. As Kelly MacDonald explained to CanMag: "The ending of the book is different. She reacts more in the way I react. She kind of falls apart. In the film she's been through so much and she can't lose any more. It's just she's got this quiet acceptance of it."^[17]

The writing is also notable for its minimal use of dialogue, relying mostly on cinematography and editing to create the film's dramatic tension. Josh Brolin discussed his initial nervousness with having so little dialogue to work with:

I mean it was a fear, for sure, because dialogue that?s what you kind of rest upon as an actor, you know? [?] Drama and all the stuff is all dialogue motivated. You have to figure out different ways to convey ideas. You don?t want to over-compensate because the fear is that you?re going to be boring if nothing?s going on. You start doing this and this and taking off your hat and putting it on again or some bullshit that doesn?t need to be there. So yeah, I was a little afraid of that in the beginning.^[18]

Casting

Actors Javier Bardem and Tommy Lee Jones entered talks to join the cast in February 2006.^[19] Jones was the first actor to be officially cast in No Country for Old Men. The Coen Brothers felt that Jones fit the role since they wanted to avoid sentimentality and not have the audiences perceive the character to be a Charley Weaver.^[13] Praising Tommy Lee Jones' credentials, the Coen brothers said, "He's from San Saba, Texas, not far from where the movie takes place. He's the real thing regarding that region." Joel Coen further outlined the directors' reasons for hiring Tommy Lee Jones in interview with Emanuel Levy:

There are just very, very few people who can carry a role like this one [?] Sheriff Bell is the soul of the movie and also, in a fundamental way, the region is so much a part of Sheriff Bell, so we needed someone who understood it [?] It?s a role that also requires a kind of subtlety that only a really, really great actor can bring to it. Again, the list of these is pretty short, so when you put those two criteria together, you come up with Tommy Lee Jones. Being a Texan, the region is a part of his core.^[20]

What I found out now was their last casting session, they were focused on a couple of actors. They called me the night before and they said, basically, no harm, no foul. ?Leave us alone, have him come down.? I studied a few scenes and I came down and I met them, and there was really no reaction in the meeting. I walked out thinking, ?It was great meeting the Coens. I?m a big fan. That?s cool.? And by the time I got home I found out they wanted me to do it.^[18]

Brolin broke his collarbone in a motorcycle accident a few days before filming was due to begin; however he and his doctor lied about the extent of his injury to the Coens and they let him continue in the role.^[23]

The Coens later wrote a short tongue-in-cheek piece for Esquire magazine called "Josh Brolin, the Casting Mistake of the Year," in which they claimed to have believed that they had cast James Brolin in the role of the aging Vietnam vet, and upon realizing their mistake were forced to reset the movie in the year 1980, and attempted, unsuccessfully, to recast Tommy Lee Jones' role with Shia LaBeouf.^[24]

Kelly Macdonald's agent originally wasn't sure she was right for the part of Moss' wife, and Macdonald is reported as having to "fight for the role".^[25] Her persistence paid off though, as she was nominated for a BAFTA for best supporting actress.

Shooting

The project was a co-production between Miramax Films and Paramount's classics-based division in a 50/50 partnership, and production was scheduled for May 2006 in New Mexico and Texas. With a total budget of $25 million, production was slated to take place in the cities of Las Vegas and Santa Fe, New Mexico, as well as in the state of Texas. Filmmakers estimated spending between $12 and $17 million of the budget in New Mexico.^[26] A movie set of a border checkpoint was built at the intersection of Interstate 25 and New Mexico State Highway 65.^[27] The bulk of the film was shot in New Mexico, and primarily there in Las Vegas, which doubled as the border towns of Eagle Pass and Del Rio, Texas. The U.S.-Mexico border crossing bridge was actually a freeway overpass in Las Vegas. Other scenes were filmed around Marfa and Sanderson in West Texas, and the scene in the town square was filmed in Piedras Negras, Coahuila in Mexico.^[28]

Cinematographer Roger Deakins, collaborating with the Coen Brothers for the ninth time, spoke of his approach to the film's look: "The big challenge on No Country for Old Men is making it very realistic, to match the story. It's early days, but I'm imagining doing it very edgy and dark, and quite sparse. Not so stylized."^[29]

Directing

One of the Coen brothers' influences was the works of director Sam Peckinpah. In an interview for The Guardian, they said "Hard men in the south-west shooting each other – that's definitely Sam Peckinpah's thing. We were aware of those similarities, certainly."^[4] In an interview in the Sydney Morning Herald, the Coens discussed choreographing and directing the film's violent scenes: " 'That stuff is such fun to do,' the brothers chime in at the mention of their penchant for blood-letting. 'Even Javier would come in by the end of the movie, rub his hands together and say, 'OK, who am I killing today?' adds Joel. 'It's fun to figure out,' says Ethan. 'It's fun working out how to choreograph it, how to shoot it, how to engage audiences watching it.'"^[30]

Josh Brolin discussed the brothers' directing style in interview, saying that the Coens "Only really say what needs to be said. They don?t sit there as directors and manipulate you and go into page after page to try to get you to a certain place. They may come in and say one word or two words, so that was nice to be around in order to feed the other thing. What should I do right now? I?ll just watch Ethan go humming to himself and pacing. Maybe that?s what I should do, too.'"^[18]

Musical score and Sound

Unusual for a thriller, the Coens worked against Hollywood convention and minimized the score used in the film, leaving large sections devoid of music. The concept was Ethan's who persuaded a skeptical Joel to go with that idea. There is some music in the movie, scored by the Coens' longtime composer, Carter Burwell, but even that eschews conventional instrumentation using singing bowls and Buddhist standing metal bells that produces the minimalist sounds required for the score. The movie contains only 16 minutes of music in total with several of those in the end credits, though unusually, the film ends and cuts immediately to credits without music playing over the credits for several seconds. Sound editing and effects were provided by another longtime Coens collaborator, Skip Lievsay, who used a mixture of emphatic sounds (gun shots) and ambient noise (engine noise, prairie winds) in the mix. The cattle gun used by Chigurh was in fact voiced by a pneumatic nail gun.^[31]

Cast and characters

Tommy Lee Jones as Sheriff Ed Tom Bell

A laconic, soon-to-retire small-town sheriff.

Josh Brolin as Llewelyn Moss

A welder and Vietnam veteran who flees with two million dollars in drug money that he finds in a Texas open field.

Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh

A sociopathic assassin hired to recover the drug money. The character was a recurrence of the "Unstoppable Evil" archetype found in the Coen Brothers' work, though the brothers wanted to avoid one-dimensionality, particularly a comparison to The Terminator.^[16] The Coen Brothers sought to cast someone "who could have come from Mars" to avoid a sense of identification. The brothers introduced the character in the beginning of the film in a manner similar to the opening of the 1976 film The Man Who Fell to Earth.^[13] Chigurh has been perceived as a "modern equivalent of Death from Ingmar Bergman's 1957 film The Seventh Seal".^[32] Chigurh's distinctive look was derived from a 1979 photo from a book supplied by Tommy Lee Jones which featured photos of brothel patrons on the Texas-Mexico border.^[33] Describing his "extraordinary moptop haircut," he said, "You don't have to act the haircut. The haircut acts by itself." Bardem signed on because he had been a Coens fan ever since he saw their debut, Blood Simple.^[34]

Kelly Macdonald as Carla Jean Moss

Llewelyn Moss' wife. Despite having severe misgivings about her husband's plans to keep the money, she still supports him. Macdonald said that what attracted her to the character of Moss was that she "wasn't obvious. She wasn't your typical trailer trash kind of character. At first you think she's one thing and by the end of the film, you realize that she's not quite as naďve as she might come across"^[17]

Woody Harrelson as Carson Wells

A cocky bounty hunter and retired colonel hired to intercept Chigurh and recover the drug money.

Tess Harper as Loretta Bell

Bell's wife, provides reassurance in his darker moods.

Carla Jean's mother and the mother-in-law of Moss. She provides a little comic relief despite the fact that she is dying from "the cancer".

Stephen Root as Man who hires Wells

A mysterious figure who apparently was involved in the financing of the drug deal and the search for the money. He hired Wells, Chigurh and the Mexicans.

Gene Jones as Thomas Thayer

Elderly rural gas station clerk with good fortune as his call on Anton's coin flip saves his life.

Garret Dillahunt as Wendell

Reception

As of March 19 2008, the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes recorded that 94 percent of 189 critics gave the film positive reviews,^[39] while another review aggregator, Metacritic, records an average score of 91%, based on 37 reviews.^[40] The film was widely discussed as a possible candidate for several Oscars,^[41][42][43] before going on to receive eight nominations, eventually winning four Academy Awards in 2008. Javier Bardem, in particular, has received considerable praise for his performance in the film. Roger Ebert gave the movie a four star review saying that it was "a masterful evocation of time, place, character, moral choices, immoral certainties, human nature and fate."^[44] Walter Chaw of Film Freak Central also praised the film as an effective adaptation of the source novel, declaring "...the Coens have distilled the essence of McCarthy's gash-deep nostalgia for the illusory, ephemeral past... and packaged it in the very best moments of their own well of extraordinary visions".^[45] Two minority, dissenting voices were Jonathan Rosenbaum (Chicago Reader) and Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Stephen Hunter (The Washington Post). Rosenbaum, while admiring the film's aesthetics, questioned its moral culpability: for him, the Coens expend great energy on depicting horror, while encouraging us to "hypocritically shake our heads at the sadness of it all".^[46] Hunter also acknowledged the Coens's film craft, but "just [didn't] like it very much": "Nobody goes to the movies for the irony. They go for the satisfaction."^[47]

David Stratton and Margaret Pomeranz both gave the film five stars. Stratton remarked "this magnificent film represents the best work the Coen Brothers have done since Fargo. Like that movie classic, this is a cold-blooded thriller with a darkly humorous edge" and "Hitchcock wouldn?t have done the suspense better." Pomeranz said "it resonates within me. It's got such a sense of place and language."^[48] Time magazine's Richard Corliss named the film one of the Top 10 Movies of 2007, ranking it at #1. Corliss praised Bardem?s performance as ?mesmerizing? and ?astonishing?, and the film as ?dry, funny, beautifully acted, thrillingly cinematic.?^[49] Corliss? fellow Time writer Richard Schickel ranked the film #2 on his own Top 10 list, saying that the film returned the Coen brothers ?to their best emotional territory of Fargo and Miller's Crossing, a place where comic innocence and unmediated violence explosively coexist. You don't know whether to laugh or cry, but you cannot avert your eyes from the resulting chaos.?^[50]
