When a Vietnam veteran discovers two million dollars while wandering through the aftermath of a Texas drug deal gone horribly awry, his decision to abscond with the cash sets off a violent chain reaction in a stripped-down crime drama from Joel and Ethan Coen. Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) has just stumbled into the find of a lifetime. Upon discovering a bullet-strewn pickup truck surrounded by the corpses of dead bodyguards, Moss uncovers two million dollars in cash and a substantial load of heroin stashed in the back of the vehicle. Later, as an enigmatic killer who determines the fate of his victims with the flip of a coin sets out in pursuit of Moss, the disillusioned Sheriff Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) struggles to contain the rapidly escalating violence that seems to be consuming his once-peaceful Lone Star State town. Woody Harrelson, Javier Bardem, and Kelly MacDonald co-star in a distinctly American crime story that explores timeless biblical themes in a contemporary Southwestern setting. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

The Cohen brothers make some of the best crime movies. This guy Anton the hitman is truly frightening. His mere presence and his mannerism is enough to make you sweat, not to mention the weapon he carries around and creepiness of him using it on people. He is certainly one of the most fearsome characters created in a film.
But where does all this lead to? I am sure people are getting tired of seeing even more cold blooded murder toward the end of the movie. But becoming opaque doesn't make it any better. I left the screen unsatisfied.
