And while all the actors in the movie are great, I need to take a moment to mention the best performance I’ve seen this year. In the movie Javier Bardem played the scariest person I’ve seen in a movie theater in a long time, and a character that stayed with me after the movie had ended. There is no doubt in my mind he’ll be nominated for an Oscar for the role. It’s that good.

Anyway, to help promote the film I was able to interview most of the cast and the reclusive Coen Brothers earlier today. In the coming days I’ll have some transcripts, but until then, here are 7 clips from the movie below the synopsis.

“No Country For Old Men” is one of the best films I’ve seen this year and one not to be missed in a theater.

The story begins when Llewelyn Moss (BROLIN) finds a pickup truck surrounded by a sentry of dead men. A load of heroin and two million dollars in cash are still in the back. When Moss takes the money, he sets off a chain reaction of catastrophic violence that not even the law–in the person of aging, disillusioned Sheriff Bell (JONES) – can contain. As Moss tries to evade his pursuers–in particular a mysterious mastermind who flips coins for human lives (BARDEM) – the film simultaneously strips down the American crime drama and broadens its concerns to encompass themes as ancient as the Bible and as bloodily contemporary as this morning’s headline.

“No Country For Old Men” opens this Friday in limited release but will be playing everywhere within a few weeks.
