Normally I'm not a fan of Coen films. I usually just don't get them. No Country for Old Men, however, is the exception. This is a brilliant film from start to finish as it traces 3 protagonists linked together by a drug deal gone bad. Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) is the man who finds a large sum of money, Chigurh (Javier Bardem) is the assassin hunting Moss, and Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) is the sheriff investigating. All three actors are excellent in their roles as the film reaches its dramatic climax and surprising conclusion.
I see some reviews complain about an unresolved ending, which I don't agree with at all. Granted, the end of the film took me by surprise, but when you focus on what was said and reflect back on the rest of the film, it's not unresolved at all.
