    anyone else think Bardem's character was a metaphor for death?

    And that Timmy Lee Jones' speech was all about not being where he thought he was going to be at a given moment, with death around the corner.

    I thought it was a great film and want to see it again.

    somewhat disturbingly, i now have a crush on javier bardem.


    i think your right on here... its defenitely got that ...you cant escape death thing going on... even the one character explains... ''you cant stop whats coming''

    reminds me of an old short story called ''Appointment in Samarra''

    exactly, beginning was brilliant! and movie was nicely shot in a good location but as it went on further and further to the end i started getting bored.

    oh, please someone can you tell what the dude said!!???

    and also come'on people realise it's another slasher movie nothing intelligent in that

    i cant quote him word for word but his idea and what hes driving at and realizing relates to the title... its no country for old men.. i think it means and he means that ... you just cant keep up... you got to be on edge... hes a new age killer an old school system... he is explaining the reason he never even sees the guy at all throughtout the entire movie is because he is one step behind him...thats why i think he retires also

    I saw the film and didn't really get it. To each their own.

    "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" got shafted for awards.

    The building of suspense and Javier Bardem are awesome, but I also feel that the movie fell apart in the last 30 minutes. I've read a bunch of reviews and thoughts, but nobody can seem to explain why they like this movie so much (particularly the ending). Instead, you get the vague sense of "well maybe this movie was just to smart for you." I'm calling Emperor's New Clothes until someone can explain to a dummy like me what is so brilliant about the ending.

    (And this is coming from a huge David Lynch fan...)


    The ending is trying to convey that there has always been violence and there always will be violence and that death is right around the corner just not where you thought it was sometimes, it supposed to make you leave the movie feeling disgusted.

    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}
