Movie Review: No Country For Old Men

SPOILER WARNING! *CONTAINS SPOILERS*

This action-packed thriller certainly delivered. The graphics were very well done, and the acting was fantastic. Though, there were a few things I did not care for. Firstly, the background of Javier Bardem’s character Anton Chigurh. He was just some psychotic, ruthless killer. But many, many questions are raised throughout this film.

Was Anton a split personality to Tommy Lee Jones‘ character, Ed Tom Bell? Many indicators bring this question up. There was one specific scene where Anton goes into Lewellyn’s trailer and sits in the center of the couch, directly in front of a television set, there is then a moment where Anton is staring at his reflection in the TV set. Shortly after Anton left the trailer, Sheriff Ed Tom Bell and another officer go into Lewellyn’s trailer. Sheriff Bell sits exactly where Anton sat, and then stares into the TV set, exactly as Anton did. There is another part towards the end when Sheriff Bell enters the motel where Lewellyn was first at. It shows Anton, as if if were looking and waiting for the sheriff, because the small keyhole and other lights shone on his face. But then, the sheriff searches the room, and it appears that no one is there.
