No Country for Old Men is the latest Coen brothers film. I enjoy their comedies - Big Lebowski and Raising Arizona were hilarious and very clever. However, I haven't enjoyed their dramas. This film is no exception. No Country is s-l-o-w and absolutely nothing happens. In fact, here's the whole story - guy finds money, bad guy who wants the money chases the guy who has the money. Only, there is no car (as in car chase). That's it. The acting is very good and the direction is excellent. Woody Harrelson has a small and entertaining role. Jim hated it too, but everyone else I've talked to has enjoyed it. So, watch at your own risk.

just saw no country for old men; it's unassumingly unconventional and yet (thankfully) never over the top. the ending was a bit dumbfounding, but that can be a good thing...
