No Country for Old Men

 

 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.
