"No Country for Old Men"

Cast: Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, Woody
Harrelson and Kelly Macdonald
Director: Joel Coen and Ethan Coen
Studio Synopsis: Llewelyn Moss (Joshn Brolin) finds a pickup truck surrounded by a sentry of dead men. A load of heroin and two million dollars in cash are still in the back. When Moss takes the money, he sets off a chain reaction of catastrophic violence that not even the lawÐin the person of aging, disillusioned Sheriff Bell (Tommy Lee Jones)Ñcan contain. As Moss tries to evade his pursuersÐin particular a mysterious mastermind who flips coins for human lives (Javier Bardem)Ñthe film simultaneously strips down the American crime drama and broadens its concerns to encompass themes as ancient as the Bible and as bloodily contemporary as this morningÕs headline.
