No country for old men

I have lost track of how long it had been on my to-watch list; so long I had forgotten why it was there in the first place. Now I know. Probably the best from the Coen Brothers yet, it is so gripping you can't bear to turn away from the screen for ever even when your heart is jumping out from your throat by the sheer horror and suspense. It is a great cinema: the pace is so leisurely, you are reminded of some of Hitchcock's best moments. You know you are being manipulated by two experts of suspense but you are willing to subject yourself to their masterful craft. Javier Bardem is given a total transformation by a weird hairdo, but it is his reincarnation as a single-minded psychopath killer that completed the transformation. This film seals his versatility. Indeed, it is 'an instant classic'.
