Movie: No Country for Old Men (2007)

A man stumbles across a dozen or so dead Mexicans in the desert, who were obviously killed during a violent exchange of drugs and money. Among the mess, he finds a million dollars and walks, only to be tracked by an assassin who will do anything to take it back.
This is in my top 5 films ever. It has everything. It's brutal, tense, scary, beautiful and even funny at times. Tommy Lee Jones just gets better with age, and new star Javier Bardem is frightening.
A must see. Classic cinema.

Tommy Lee was excellent! But I'd only give the film 4 stars

I loved it right up to the end where I just thought WTF? It's like they couldn't figure out how to end it, so didn't.

The ending has been criticised. Personally I thought it was perfect. A beautiful end to a story, which is probably more about the Sheriff and his journey in life than anything else. The whole film is a masterpiece, a work of art. Like a Glaezter Amon-Ra when it peaks around 2025.
