Sinopsis(1)
La historia empieza cuando Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) encuentra una camioneta rodeada por varios hombres muertos. En la parte trasera hay un cargamento de heroína y dos millones de dólares. Cuando Moss coge el dinero, provoca una reacción en cadena de violencia, que la ley, representada por el desilusionado sheriff Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), no consigue detener. Mientras Moss intenta huir de sus perseguidores, especialmente del misterioso cerebro de la operación (Javier Bardem) que se juega las vidas de otros a cara o cruz, la película pone al descubierto la delincuencia en Estados Unidos y amplía su significado hasta incluir temas tan antiguos como la Biblia y tan contemporáneos y sangrientos como los titulares de esta mañana.

De esta película, solo queda en mi memoria la increíble actuación de Javier Bardem, quien lucía literalmente loco con su espantoso pelo. Las películas de los hermanos Coen tienen una tendencia variable para mí, algunas me gustan mucho, otras casi nada. Este país envejecido cae en la segunda categoría.

Un thriller atmosférico y escalofriante, mortalmente silencioso y fríamente áspero, con la firma creativa única de los hermanos Coen. Al final, intenta parecer un gran arte y el espectador no tiene problemas para creérselo. Los Coen vuelven a estar donde más me gustan después de unas cuantas desventuras cómicas. Michael Myers atormentaba mis pesadillas de adolescente, hoy será el asesino de Javier Bardem. Y ni siquiera el sheriff interpretado por Tommy Lee Jones podrá salvarme de él.

The ecstatic cries of American critics, confirmed by the Oscar award, about extreme violence are rather pious pleas of all those who have read McCarthy’s novel and have seen something made by the Coen brothers before. The film is a perfect confirmation that the writers are slowly but surely becoming as arid as the desert on the Texas-Mexico border. This stuff was made for them, but a slave adaptation doesn't make a good movie, and if they didn't have those amazing actors (after American Gangster, Josh Brolin wins again), their adaptation would have absolutely lost its meaning. 70% (rounded down due to expectations).

No Country for Old Men is not for everyone, in fact, I’d say it’s only for a very narrow section of the public. I’m sure the Coens are very satisfied with it, you can’t deny the film has a distinctive style, but what good is that when I almost fell asleep? The plot moves forward very slowly, and in some places it feels that it doesn’t move at all. The shots of the desert landscape (room, car…) are beautiful, but they could have been shorter and less static. I must praise Javier Barden’s amazing performance, without it the experience would have been barely half as good.

I don't give a damn about journalistic glorification, this film is strong in the details, but unremarkable as a whole. Let's shed a tear at the memory of the brilliant Fargo, the Coens have been getting a bit stale in the last four years. I missed a twist (semi-pathologically spoken moralities don't make a film witty), I missed the Coens' greatest weapon, which has always been a strong story, I missed their typical sense of absurdity and exaggeration, I missed quite a lot here. Bardem's assassin, the character that carries the whole, is neither substantial nor interesting enough that I would already, as overseas publicists are doing with gusto, place this essentially very simple film alongside famous classics. I expect something more from an "unforgettable" film than a banal chase and a one-man-show of one violent mind. Sorry, guys. I attribute the mostly ecstatic enthusiasm for this piece to the well-deserved reputation the talented brothers have earned over their career.
