No Country for Old Men is a 2007 neo-Western thriller film written and directed by The Coen Brothers, based on a 2005 novel by Cormac McCarthy.The place is West Texas; the year, 1980. When rugged Vietnam veteran Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) finds the horrific aftermath of a botched drug deal and takes a suitcase filled with money, he sets in motion a spiral of violence beyond his control or comprehension. A cynical old sheriff, Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), is determined to prove that there's still a place for justice in an otherwise unfair and cruel world as he sets out to find Moss and protect him from the owners of the money.But for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, and the men behind the deal have sent ruthless hitman Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) to retrieve the briefcase. Chigurh is a man willing to do absolutely anything in order to achieve his aims... and it's not just the money he's after.The film was honored with numerous awards: three British Academy of Film awards, two Golden Globes, and Academy Awards for Best Picture (Scott Rudin and Ethan and Joel Coen), Best Director (the Coen brothers), Best Adapted Screenplay (the Coen brothers), and Best Supporting Actor (Bardem).This film was one of two collaborations of Paramount Vantage and Miramax released in 2007 alongside There Will Be Blood, itself nominated for multiple awards. At the time, Miramax was owned by Disney. Miramax was subsequently sold to Filmyard Holdings in 2010, then to beIN Media Group in 2016. Four years later, Paramount acquired a minority stake in Miramax, and now holds the worldwide rights to all films it had co-produced with Miramax (except for Sliding Doors, which is now owned by Shout! Factory), along with the rest of the Miramax library.

Diabolus ex Nihilo: Played very, very straight with Anton Chigurh. He spends the first act of the film terrorizing townsfolk for reasons that are never really discussed. As the second act begins, he's instantly involved in the plot without a word of explanation. We don't even know who's employing him, and the people the audience thinks are employing him get blown away.

Tempting Fate: In the opening scene, the cop turns his back to Chigurh, confidently saying the situation's under control. Not two seconds later, Chigurh brutally kills the cop using just his handcuffs, and escapes the precinct. Moss phones Wells, only to find him dead. When Chigurh speaks with him, Moss confidently asserts he has found a way to beat him without involving his wife. Moss goes to a motel to prepare, and he ends up dead, not even by Chigurh himself, but the Mexican mobsters looking for the money.

Ambiguous Situation
 No Country for Old Men / int_1f6983f7
comment
Ambiguous Situation: Many people think that going again into the desert to give water was an extremely dumb decision Moss made. But ultimately this could be a thing that actually saved his life for that time. They tried to chase him there, he managed to get out, he knew they would soon find him by the truck plate and he started moving. If he hadn't returned to the desert, he most likely would have been eventually found by Chigurh via the tracker, he would have caught him completely off guard in his own house. It's never made explicit whether Chigurh killed the accountant. Does Bell's dream symbolize hope, or despair?

Wrong Genre Savvy: Llewelyn Moss. He refuses to accept that the world isn't as black and white as he believes it is, and acts like he's a stereotypical action hero. This flaw ends up getting him killed.

Ironic Echo: Not verbally, but when Chigurh gets into a car collision that gives him a nasty open fracture (read: bone piercing skin), he asks one of two youths for his shirt as a (partial) disguise in exchange for a lot of money. Llewelyn does much the same thing earlier after getting wounded by Anton, asking three college-age kids for a coat in exchange for a lot of money.

Literary Allusion Title: Taken from the poem "Sailing to Byzantium" by William Butler Yeats. While in the original poem the speaker is an old man who can no longer keep up with the lust (Eros) of the young, Sheriff Bell is an old man who can't keep up with the violence (Thanatos) of the young.

Uncertain Doom: After Chigurh kills the man who hired Wells, the accountant with whom said man was speaking asks Chigurh what he'll do to him: Similarly, the man who T-bones Chigurh's car as he leave Carla Jean's house. You can see the driver slumped in the seat, but whether the impact rendered him unconscious or dead isn't touched upon.

Nominal Hero: Moss. He is impulsive, prideful, and stubborn, to the point that his actions get a lot of innocent people killed as well as ensure his own doom. However, we are not supposed to see him as a hero so much as an opportunistic, foolish man in a situation far out of his depth. Character-wise, the only thing he really has going for him is that the men hunting for him (both Chigurh and the Mexican cartel) are a lot worse.

Missing Floor
 No Country for Old Men / int_2e10c4ab
comment
Missing Floor: In the scene where Wells gets hired at the "corporate office," he makes a comment about counting the floors to the building and there being one missing. This is in reference to the practice of skipping floor "13" in larger buildings because the number is considered unlucky. Of course, there still is a thirteenth floor in the building, it's only the label that's changed. It's a subtle indication that the people at the top of the organization are kidding themselves about what they can control.

The Bad Guy Wins: Chigurh walks off quite badly injured because of a car accident but otherwise he's killed everyone he was hired to kill and then some and it doesn't seem like he will face repercussions. It’s even worse in the book, where he not only explicitly gets away but ends up taking over the syndicate’s drug operations. That such things seem to happen more and more in the modern world is what drives Sheriff Bell over the Despair Event Horizon.

Disapproving Look: Tommy Lee Jones' famous "Implied Facepalm" given to one of his deputies — in context, he has just read out a news story about about a serial killing that was sadistic but also surreally comedic, and wryly remarks that the neighbours managed to overlook multiple graves being dug in the garden. Funny or not, he is taken aback when his deputy laughs at this line.

Actor Allusion: A very dark example. When ruminating on the state of the world in the book, Sheriff Bell references the recent murder of a federal judge. The murder occurred in real life and was committed by hitman Charles Harrelson, father of Woody Harrelson (yes, really), who plays Wells in the movie.

Face Death with Dignity: Carla Jean, in the film. Also discussed when Chigurh is about to kill Carson. The accountant seems remarkably unfazed considering Chigurh has just killed the only other man in the room with him; he just calmly asks if he's going to die next. But, it's entirely possible he survives, as we never do see the results of the conversation.

Noodle Incident: When Wells is introduced, his employer asks him when he last saw Chigurh, and Wells cites the exact date. We do later learn that Wells is indeed familiar with Chigurh... but we never learn what that earlier incident was about or (given what a psychopath Chigurh is) how Wells managed to survive.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 No Country for Old Men / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Gunshots are not something you can easily shrug off, even if you are a trained veteran or an unstoppable killing machine. Both Llewelyn and Chigurh have to carefully treat bullet wounds they get, and the effects are felt for the rest of the film. Llewelyn and Chigurh don't face off in an explosive showdown. Chigurh isn't the only person looking for Llewelyn's stolen money, and unsurprisingly, some other hitmen get the drop on Llewelyn instead, resulting in him being killed anticlimactically offscreen. Chigurh's car crash in the finale shows that, for all he thinks of himself as an unstoppable entity, he's still just a man, and evading death in a gun fight without breaking a sweat doesn't mean you can't be killed by something as mundane as a driver on a sleepy suburban street running through a stop sign. The fact that he only survives through pure luck just drives it home further.

Captain Obvious: After Chigurh gets T-boned, one of the kids on the bicycles states the obvious fact that Chigurh has a bone sticking out of his arm. In fact, he states it twice. Then again, he's probably more concerned that Chigurh's showing a disturbing lack of alarm about his injury.

Xanatos Speed Chess
 No Country for Old Men / int_447d9e50
comment
Xanatos Speed Chess: The film is essentially a three-way game between Moss, Chigurh, and Bell. Moss is clever enough to keep making plans after he realizes he's being hunted (and how). Notably, he's the only one of Chigurh's targets that the latter fails to trap/kill with minimal effort. Unfortunately, Moss' cleverness isn't quite enough, even if it's not Chigurh who nails him in the end. When Anton Chigurh is outsmarted and injured by Moss outside the Eagle Motel, he realizes bushwhacking the Vietnam veteran isn't going to work. Anton immediately restructures his hunt to prioritize eliminating Moss' only way out: Wells and the man who hired him. He then threatens to kill his wife, in order to lure Moss to the nearest airport.

The Guards Must Be Crazy: Moss simply walks over the US-Mexican border into Mexico, past the only Mexican night shift customs officer, who is asleep. Truth in Television, however, justifies this — you can indeed cross the border to Mexico without as much as a passport control, but getting back to the US is a totally different affair altogether.

A MacGuffin Full of Money: Moss has a suitcase containing $2 million. Chigurh is hunting Moss to get the money. Bell is hunting Chigurh and simultaneously hunting Moss in hopes of getting him to safety. Chigurh never catches up with Moss, and Bell never catches up with either Moss or Chigurh. Bell and Chigurh almost cross paths, but they never actually meet one another.

Downer Ending: Not only is the deuteragonist murdered (off-screen), but then the villain murders the hero's wife (again, off-screen) and escapes justice, leaving an old man to contemplate his inability to act in the face of so much seemingly pointless violence of the world. On a slightly brighter note, we see that Chigurh is himself not immune to the impartiality of the universe. While he survives the film, he winds up wounded and without his money. The novel also implies that the police are still tracking down Chigurh, indicating that soon he will be caught.

Creator Thumbprint: For the film. Even though this movie shocked many audiences in 2007 by being considerably Darker and Edgier than most of the Coens' previous films, it still bears several of their signature elements: it's set in the recent past (the early 1980s), it's about a crime gone awry (the botched drug deal), and it features a seemingly emotionless Implacable Man with an embarrassing haircut (Chigurh).

Pragmatic Adaptation: The style in which the novel is written would seem to be difficult to adapt to film, but the Coens manage to do it justice by translating McCarthy's stark language into stark imagery and audio design. This resulted in it being one of the few films that is widely regarded to be superior to the book. It helps that the book was originally written as a screenplay to begin with.

Improperly Placed Firearms: In one scene, Chigurh uses a Glock 19 pistol. The movie takes place in 1980, but Glock pistols were not produced until 1983, and the 19 specifically didn't arrive until 1988. His Remington 11-87 wouldn't be introduced until 1987. At one point, Llewelyn acquires a Heckler & Koch SP89, which per its name wasn't produced until 1989. It's standing in for the full-auto MP5k mentioned by name in the book, which did exist by the time of the film's setting.

When I Was Your Age...
 No Country for Old Men / int_6d722dcd
comment
When I Was Your Age...: One of the big tropes of the film, and one that's ultimately defied. Sheriff Bell feels that the world is more violent than when he was young, and doesn't want to face it. But as his mentor tells him in the end, the world's always been violent, and it's vanity on his part to think it's changing just 'cause he's getting older. Fridge Logic sets in when you realize that Bell is probably a fan of Westerns. The average Western is oodles more violent than 1980s Texas. He'd probably get over himself if he just sat down and watched The Searchers.

Missed Him by That Much: An amusing example occurs when Bell and Wendell are searching for Chigurh at Moss's trailer. Chigurh tracks Llewelyn via transponder to a motel room. While Chigurh is violently eliminating the Mexicans occupying the room, Llewelyn is dragging the 50 lb. satchel through a ventilation duct in the opposite room. The gunfire and screaming mask the scraping sounds created by the bag. By the time Anton checks the vent, Llewelyn has left the motel and hitched a ride out of town.

I Gave My Word: A dark example. When they briefly connect over the phone, Chigurh demands that Moss surrender himself and the money, or else he'll track down and murder his wife Carla Jean. Moss, predictably, refuses the ultimatum. At the end of the film, even though Moss is dead and Chigurh has already recovered the cash, he shows up at her house and makes good on his promise, using this exact justification.

Scarily Competent Tracker: Carson Wells. Subverted by Anton Chigurh, however.

After this, Chigurh finds it significantly harder to pursue Moss, and decides to try luring him by threatening his wife instead.

Idiot Ball: Moss going back to give the dying man water (when he's likely already dead at that point), which is what sets the chase in motion. He even lampshades this when he says he's about to do something really stupid. Moss going half the movie after acquiring the money before finding the transponder in the bag with the money. He never even decided to search the bag to count the money? Of course, this is done because otherwise the film would be much, much shorter. Related, the drug cartel's plan to keep tabs on the money by using the transponder in the first place. They couldn't have predicted that if things went south with the drug deal, that the person who ended up with the money would just ditch the bag like Moss did.

Celebrity Paradox: In the novel, Ed Tom Bell mentions the murder of a federal judge in San Antonio.

Woody Harrelson (yes, the son of Charles) would go on to co-star in the Coen Brothers' film.

comment
Artistic License – Law Enforcement: In the film, the deputy who arrests Chigurh at the beginning simply has him sit in a chair, then turns him back on him and makes a phone call. This allows Chigurh to bend forward, slip his cuffed hands under his feet so that his hands are in front of him, then choke the deputy to death. In reality, he would have immediately been placed in a holding cell.

Deconstruction
 No Country for Old Men / int_8ae880f7
comment
Deconstruction: Moss is a deconstruction of the action hero, especially the older tougher variety. He thinks of himself as tough, resourceful, and morally righteous. To the audience, he comes across as greedy, vain, and stupid, never really thinking of the consequences of his actions, either to himself or those around him. Like Sheriff Bell, Moss is an archetype of an era that never existed when men never gave in to bad guys, the lines of black and white were clear, and the hero got to ride off into the sunset when it's over. He doesn't seem to realize that the world is and has always been a much darker place where men like that have no place. Unlike Bell, he never realizes, and pays the ultimate price for his arrogance.

Surprise Car Crash: One is used as part of its Anti-Climax ending. After Anton Chigurh kills Carla Jean and drives off before the police arrive, his car is struck down by another vehicle as he is leaving the neighborhood. Chigurh is as much a victim of circumstance as anyone else.

Laser-Guided Karma: Chigurh gets T-boned by a speeding car a few minutes after killing Carla Jean. While Chigurh's shown to have fixed his wounds before, the sort of fracture he receives is going to put him out of commission for a long while (if not permanently) without real medical aid.

Heads or Tails?
 No Country for Old Men / int_91495e52
comment
Heads or Tails?: Anton Chigurh flips a coin to decide whether to kill a potential victim. Those that choose not to take the chance are killed anyway, because they refuse to submit to the Powers That Be. Fans actually debate over the reason why he does it. Carla Jean refuses to play, refusing to blame the coin or fate for what she believes is her inevitable death -- simply Chigurh.

Villainous Breakdown
 No Country for Old Men / int_957e5fc2

Villainous Breakdown: A subtle example when Chigurh is badly wounded unexpectedly in a car accident. He looks shocked, and tells the boys at the scene he needs to sit and get his bearings for a while. Then he practically begs the boys for a shirt and help to make a sling for his broken arm, followed by giving them a generous tip for the help. All very out of character for Chigurh, showing us he's not as powerful as he thinks.

Riddle for the Ages
 No Country for Old Men / int_96a33f11
comment
Riddle for the Ages: Is Chigurh really hiding in the hotel room where Moss was killed when Bell decides to check it, or does Bell, after noticing that the knob is missing, just imagine that Chigurh is there, ready to ambush him? At first sight, it would appear to be the former (Bell never actually meets Chigurh, so it would make no sense for him to "imagine" him exactly as he looked like), however, some elements point to the latter. (When Bell opens the door, it appears that behind it there would be no space for Chigurh to hide. Also, the air tank that Chigurh uses to carry around to pry doors open is nowhere to be seen, hinting that Chigurh may have already left.) According to those who have read it, not even the script provides a clear answer about that.

Unwitting Instigator of Doom: While on the way to meet up with Moss with her daughter, Carla's mother speaks to a polite, well-dressed Mexican man who helps her with her luggage, making small talk about where she's headed. Using this information, the gang is able to get the drop on Moss just as he thought he had a moment to breathe and plan, killing him. This, in turn, utterly seals Carla's fate, as Moss' plan to confront Chigurh and send her away with the money was the only conceivable way he might not have been able to kill her.

Fridge Logic sets in when you realize that Bell is probably a fan of Westerns. The average Western is oodles more violent than 1980s Texas. He'd probably get over himself if he just sat down and watched The Searchers.

Nostalgia Ain't Like It Used to Be: Played with. Sheriff Bell often muses about how someone like Chigurh wouldn't have gotten away with anything in the "old days," but this claim is undermined at the end when his uncle Ellis tells him a tale of how his grandfather was killed in cold blood on his own porch in 1909 by a trio of Native Americans, and then says to him flat out that claiming the "old days" were better or more moral is nothing but vanity.

Rule of Three: Chigurh doesn't like getting blood on his boots, which we see three times: the first time in the hotel room when he shoots the Mexicans (while in sock feet). The second time, after he shoots Wells, he puts his feet up as he's on the phone with Llewelyn. The third time, as he's coming out of Carla Jean's mother's house, proof that he also killed Carla Jean.

Karma Houdini: Played with. Llewelyn's killers get away just as Bell arrives, but he managed to kill one and sent the rest running in fear. Later, Chigurh does kill his wife, but she defies his nonsensical logic. Shortly after, a car slams into him, but he manages to get out (albeit seriously injured) and escape after bribing some kids nearby to keep quiet — many critics saw this as a clean getaway, but even with his medical knowledge, the injuries he received are not treatable by himself, and are very likely to put him out of commission, if not kill him or make it possible for the police to finally corner him.

Useless Protagonist: Sheriff Bell, who is too apathetic to even properly pursue Chigurh, unlike the hotshot deputies and the out-of-state investigators trying to piece together what's going on. One of his major scenes is his deputy trying to encourage him to go with the investigators at the crime scenes — he doesn't care, saying it'll do no good. He doesn't bother with investigating further after he fails to stop Chigurh or the hitmen from killing Llewelyn.

comment
The '80s: Set in 1980; since it's the beginning of the decade, and the setting is rural Texas, there isn't much stereotypical '80s fashion. Chigurh's rather out-of-place garb (alligator skin boots, denim jacket...) could be leftover fashion from the '70s, not to mention his haircut. There's no '80s pop soundtrack either; it's mostly eerie sound effects or silence.

Nice Mean And In Between: A darker example than most. Ed Tom Bell is The Sheriff who is trying to stop Moss and Chigurh, but is too apathetic to be anything more than a Pinball Protagonist. Anton Chigurh is a Professional Killer who's out to get the money from Moss and kill him for the trouble. Not that the trouble really makes any difference, as he's also a psycho who ends up killing most people he meets. Llewelyn Moss is an opportunistic Jerkass who's in it for himself, but he's not psychotic like Chigurh.

All seems set for a third-act confrontation… but this isn't that kind of movie. Bell finds him freshly Killed Offscreen, and everything goes to hell for everyone else.

Big Bad Wannabe
 No Country for Old Men / int_c67af1b0
comment
Big Bad Wannabe: The middle manager of the Matacumbe Petroleum Group. He seems to be the one who arranged to purchase $2.4 million worth of black tar heroin from Pablo Acosta's Juarez Cartel, and is responsible for bringing both Chigurh and Wells into the plot that he kicked off to begin with. It's subtly implied that this may be his first rodeo and that he's in over his head, and the company's initial foray into the drug trade ultimately gets him killed.

Conscience Makes You Go Back: Moss finds a dying man asking for water when he first reaches the shootout. He leaves without helping, but his conscience prickles him later at home, so he returns to the shootout scene to bring the man water... which is a mistake, and kickstarts the plot.

You Keep Telling Yourself That: It practically defines the character of Anton Chigurh. The film version stresses this even further; in the book, he manages to intimidate Carla Jean into calling the coin toss. In the film, we never see her break. She refuses to give him that 'out', and it's the closest he gets to a defeat.

"Eureka!" Moment: Subverted. During his conversation with Carla Jean, Sheriff Bell mentions that modern cattle processors use an air gun for efficient killing. However, he is unable to realize that there's a connection to Chigurh's victims — who apparently died of bullet wounds with no bullets — and dismisses it as a stray thought.

Despair Event Horizon: Bell crosses it after the deaths of Llewelyn and Carla Jean. A conversation with his Uncle Ellis reminds him that criminality and senseless violence have always been part of life in the region. Bell's narration ends on an ambiguous note as he relates two dreams he had. (They seem to allude to Cormac McCarthy's masterpiece The Road.)

Dice Roll Death: When Chigurh escapes the police station, he stops a driver on a highway to kill him and steal his car. The poor guy just happened to be the only one on the road. Llewelyn flags down a motorist on an otherwise deserted street while running from Chigurh; the driver dies when Chigurh shoots at them. As above, the guy was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Gorn: The Coen brothers said themselves they wanted to make the "strangling" scene in the beginning the most violent strangling in the history of movies. The unfortunate random passerby whose only crime was letting Moss into his pickup suffers one of the most gruesome deaths in the movie. The death of the man who hires Wells. Then there's the guy in the hotel whose arm gets obliterated by Chigurh's weapon.

No Ending: Played with. As noted above, with the exceptions of Chigurh and Sheriff Bell, every major character dies. A quick shot reveals that Chigurh had found the money in the ventilation system again, and left with the money, but it goes by fast and is irrelevant to the story by this point. Further, Chigurh is grievously wounded — in the novel, it's taken further, where the sheriffs will continue tracking him.

Moss' act of mercy to bring the dying Mexican mobster water gets the cartels on his trail, though it also gives him warning that someone is looking for the cash, which sets Moss running and helps him figure out that there's a tracking beacon in the cash before Chigurh can ambush him.

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: For all that he's an unstoppable monster who cannot be argued with, the old man at the gas station gets a small but powerful retort when he responds "I was just passing the time. If you don't want to accept that, I don't know what I can do for you." It seems almost to enrage Chigurh that someone would try to be friendly to someone else, even when they don't have to be, just for the sake of being nice.

Shown Their Work: A very well done one that averts Guns Do Not Work That Way. In the scene where Moss goes back to give water to the dying man (pointless, as the man is already dead when he arrives), drug dealers find him and set their dog on him. This forces Moss to swim across the river to escape, with the pit bull swimming after him. When he reaches the other side, he knows he can't outrun the dog and doesn't even try. A thousand other action movies would have him simply whip out his gun and shoot the dog. Not here. Moss knows his gun is soaking wet and has to be cleared before he can attempt to fire it, and goes through the correct procedure to do so. Keep in mind that he does all of the following under extreme pressure, as the dog is getting out of the water and coming after him. He racks the slide, ejecting the cartridge in the chamber, which had the most exposure to the water. He ejects the magazine, allowing as much water as possible to drain from the gun while simultaneously shaking the magazine to get the water out of it. He then blows several times into the barrel and the magazine receiver to clear water from them. Water does not compress, so any droplets of water in the barrel could very well have the gun blowing up in his face. After all this, he reinserts the magazine, chambers a round, and shoots the dog just as it is leaping at him. Total elapsed time from starting to clear the gun to shooting the dog: ten seconds.
