No Country for Old Men

Josh Brolin finds $2 million dollars in a satchel at the beginning of the movie. He totally tooks to me like a less-smirky Burt Reynolds, circa 1975. But with longer hair. I dunno, maybe that's just me.

Javier Barden has terrible Prince Valiant helmet-hair and kills people. The movie makes his character "complex" by having him sometimes not kill people.

Tommy Lee Jones has regular-bad-haircut-boring hair and acts as our "anchor" character by sometimes taking interest in the plot and mumbling his general disapproval of it.

The ending was totally intellectual and I didn't understand it at all. I take it that was done on purpose.

When I rented this movie, I thought this was the one with the guy who says, "I drink your milkshake!" (see link) but it's not. That's apparantly in another movie. So, if you want to see the guy who says "I drink your milkshake," don't do what I did and rent "No Country for Old Men." You'll just end up disappointed.
