This was bound to be a hit. The Coen Brothers take Fargo (their 1996 hit), throw in Christian Batemen from American Psycho and set it on a 1980’s West Texas Prairie.
Tommy Lee Jones is an old-timer sheriff who’s often a few steps behind the bloodshed and left day-dreaming about the good old days. Throughout the movie he’s chasing villain Anton Chigurh who enjoys killing bystanders with a cattle euthanizer.
Central to the plot of this neo-western is a retired Vietnam vet who stumbles across a briefcase full of cash from a drug deal gone wrong, while hunting antelope. This doesn’t sit well with sadistic psychopath, Anton Chigurh. What follows is a trail of blood-shed set among big sky panoramas.
You’re sure to leave the theater confused. But you will not be disappointed because you know you will be seeing it again.
Man counsel exists to unifiy, and help forward the cause of men around the planet.
