It’s the summer of 1980 in west Texas. Anton Chigurh (played by Javier Bardem) has escaped police custody and is calmly using his captive bolt pistol to lay a path of death and destruction as he makes his getaway. Meanwhile, Vietnam vet Llewelyn Moss (played by Josh Brolin) has stumbled across a drug deal gone wrong while out hunting antelope.
He follows a blood trail leading away from the slaughter and comes across a dead man holding a suitcase containing two million dollars. He quickly decides to take the money and hide it beneath his trailer. After an evening of internal turmoil Moss resolves to bring water back to the sole survivor of the massacre, but he is intercepted by a new wave of Mexican gangsters and is forced to abandon his truck at the scene. Sheriff Tom Bell (played by Tommy Lee Jones) is called in to investigate and traces Moss’ truck back to his residence. Chigurh has used the same method to track down the money and the deadly game of cat and mouse begins.

It is a very well made but very disturbing film. The violence is quite graphic but well done and not in your face. I would recommend this moive.
