Here is a creepy yet westernish movie for you, called No Country for Old Men!
The old man is Tommy Lee Jones, which gives it bonus points even before it starts. There’s no country for him and the bags under his eyes. We know that in real life Tommy Lee Jones breeds polo ponies on a giant ranch in Texas and we like how he puts the horse in the janky old horse trailer. That is pulled by an old ’70’s truck with very stunning and muted ’70’s art direction. His name is Ed Tom Bell, thanks Cormac McCarthy for this one perfect name. Thanks art director, for the beautiful cop headlights on the ’70’s cop car and the beautiful interiors and props!
The bad guy is pretty much as bad as you can get without going to the chainsaw massacre side of tall bad guys in Texas. This is due to the Coen Brothers and the fact he looks a little bit like Ryan Hedgecock of Lone Justice with hair that makes you giggle except you hope you never see him in real life, in his tall and seamless stretchy denim-like ’70’s fabric. Even his nose is bad and crazy, probably as bad as any movie guy can get.
The chased guy is sometimes smart and sometimes not. Very good use of western shirts then making them wrong with ill fitting levis and occasional sneakers. I believe once he was one of the Young Riders. Now he lives in trailer that is probably not moldy due to the heat, he makes me think maybe I should just move to New Mexico. Once a teen idol and then a Vietnam vet jungle stalker, but now he is sweaty and dusty and sort of wide in the ass. Also you will find Woody Harrelson in a Texas leisure suit!
All of them need to either find the money or keep the money. It’s that kind of story. But told in such a way that I did not ever get bored or fall asleep, which is a very high praise from me. If you are worried about the mean pitbulls with tiny pointy ears, always remember they don’t really kill dogs for the movies, as much as we can tell. You will never want to swim in a river with a pitbull chasing you again. I will not divulge any more details because this is a movie for everyone to go see! It makes me wish I was a super genius Coen Brother and realize how much I never will be. I am sorry Coen Brothers, that all I can come up with are scenes from musicals. Let’s have them direct the dog agility movie! Thanks Coen Brothers!
