Review: No Country for Old Men

A hunter stumbles across a drug deal gone bad. He takes the money and is now on the run from the dealers, the law, and a cool calculated killer. But this movie isn't about that. This movie isn't about who or what you think it is. I won't say much but our "hero" just disappears after about 2 thirds of the film. This is mearly a back-drop for the real message of the movie. The title hints at this. The acting was great, the pace worked, but the story needed to find out where it wanted to go. The real point of the film sat in the back waiting for everything else to play out and then never really showed up until the end. This was more like two stories running at the same time with the main message not getting the time it deserved. I found myself more interested in the "back-story" than what was intended. This rates as a rental.
