No Country For Old Men

Before i say anything else, i just want to say that out of all the movies we have seen in class, No Country was probably the best one. Not only because of the violence and actions scenes, but because it was just a good movie. You have Anton Chigurh the cold blooded killer who just does what he wants, the typical greedy guy, who is also the "hero" named Moss, and the sheriff. This movie reminds me a lot of War by Philip G. Atwell, it has sort of the same cold blooded killer, type of deal, played by Jet Li, and then the good guy/cop played by Jason Statham.. This movies are both the same in the fact that theres killings all the time, and there scenes where it just gets nasty. like one where Jet li sticks a bomb on a dog, then sends him into a room to blow up its owners, it was pretty tight, and nasty at the same time.. but in any case, theres sort of the same plot, but its more of Jason's character getting revenge on a fellow cop lost/killed by Jet li's character, so its a whole struggle with that, and the yakuza and triads..
