No Country for Old Men

July 17th, 2008 by zen

 

 Watched No Country for Old Men last night and enjoyed Javier Bardem’s creepy portrayal the relentlessly driven professional killer, Anton Chigurh. The world-weariness of Tommy Lee Jones’ sherrif and the blue collar, good ol’ boy amateurishness of protagonist Josh Brolin only serve to highlight Bardem’s performance.

    Bardem sets a new standard in stupendous badassery.

    Agreed. The retro hair of the socially isolated loner was a cool touch. If you can pull off an atmosphere of menace while sporting a Prince Valiant ‘do, that’s saying something.
