Our take on No Country for Old Men
The Coen brothers' 2007 masterpiece follows a man who finds two million dollars in the Texas desert and the implacable killer who hunts him, as an aging sheriff trails behind. Spare, suspenseful and philosophically bleak, it turns a chase into a meditation on fate and a changing world. If its dread and moral chill gripped you, seek out lean modern thrillers and neo-westerns where violence is patient and the ground keeps shifting.
