Everyone is grumpy in Texas in the eighties. Leading Goonie Josh Brolin finds money. Javier Bardem wants the money and is prepared to use air to get it. Tommy Lee Jones is, frankly, more disappointed than angry with the whole lot of them. Everyone gets their comeuppance at the end. Not as funny as There Will Be Blood.
Trivia
The story of No Country for Old Men is based on a conceptual album by 80s popsters Bucks Fizz
The desert scenes were filmed in a large park in the British county of Sussex, then CGI was used to replace the grass with sand
The first choice for the Javier Bardem role of Chigurh was light entertainment star Noel Edmunds
Josh Brolin lived in a hole in the ground for the duration of filming because he believed it brought him closer to nature or some such nonsense.
Bloopers
During the scene in which Llewelyn first discovers the drugs, two medieval knights can be seen jousting in the background.
