Brother directors Ethan and Joel Coen bring us one of the best and darkest films in a while. Adapted from a novel of the same title, Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) is hunting one afternoon in Texas when he comes across a drug deal gone wrong. He finds a truck bed of heroin, a suitcase with $2 million in it, and a man who’s barely alive.

Moss takes the money and runs back home. Feeling guilty about leaving the man to die, he goes back to take him water. He gets caught in a shootout with Mexican drug dealers who were waiting there and luckily escapes.

Moss sends his wife with his mother-in-law and takes the money with him to disappear. Unknowingly to Moss, Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), a dangerous hitman, is looking for the money.

Sheriff Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) is looking for Moss to protect him from the people who are looking for him. Will Moss escape with the money and live happily ever after with his wife?
It has one of the greatest endings, and it’s one of the best films I’ve seen this year. This is another Coen brothers’ classic. The writing, acting, and directing are amazing.

The acting performances are perfect from Bardem, Brolin, and the great Tommy Lee Jones. The rest of the cast is great as well.
