If there’s one thing the Coens do well it’s a big story in a small town. Two more of their favourite ingredients are murder and greed. It may come as no surprise, therefore, that No Country for Old Men tells a story of blood and drug money in arid West Texas. Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin), out hunting one day, as you do, stumbles upon the body-strewn site of a Mexican gang feud in the desert. He decides to relieve them of the suitcase full of money, apparently intended to pay for a truckload of heroin.
Hot on his trail are a deeply sinister psychopathic hitman, Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), with a novel weapon of choice; the private detective (Woody Harrelson) hired to track him down; and the ageing sheriff (Tommy Lee Jones) following the trail of bodies.
