Film 5 of 1001 is 2007′s No Country for Old Men. Or I shall now call it No Country for Mumblers. Lot of mumbling but at least I could make out what everyone was saying. Besides that, I rather enjoyed the it. Very tense in certain scenes. Had me hooked and wanting to root for the good guys. Personally, I thought Javier Bardem was fantastic as was everyone else. I just loved the way he went around expressionless killing anyone he pleased. Very enjoyable, highly recommend. Here is what I had to say while watching No Country for Old Men

Film starts with a monolauge
Film then shows Anton Chigurh getting arrested and placed in the back of a police car in the middle of the desert
Anton then kills a policeman with his handcuffs around the neck
Somehow Anton got out of the handcuffs
Back in the desert to show a car being pulled over
Antons driving the police car
HEADSHOT!!!
Now we’re hunting
That didn’t work, better keep the bullet casing
Random line of blood in the middle of the desert
It’s blood from the animal he shot as it limps away
Just waiting for something bad to happen
Dead men, guns, and abandoned cars – Feels like I’m playing Modern Warfare 2
NO THEY SHOT A DOG :(
Jesus thats one way to die
How the hell did he survive
I’ll have that thank you
That’s a lot of drugs
It’s just accured to me that this cowboy looks like wrestler John “Bradshaw” Layfield
I think the cowboy is Llewelyn
Only assuming that because I looked it up on IMDb
Bad mistake leaving a rifle in the desert
Another dead man
I’ll have that gun as well
MONEY MONEY MONEY, IT’S A RICH MAN’S WORLD
Trailer parks well know for being in the desert
Don’t believe me then visit Trevor Phillips in GTA 5
Llewelyn tells his wife, Carla about the gun and the money
“I’m fixing to do something stupid but I’m doing it anyway”
DAMN IT’S DARK OUT
How did he manage to find the car circle in the middle of the night
If we wasn’t saying “OW” earlier, he is now cause he’s dead
Hide under a car, then run away, always a good thing to do
They shot Llewelyn!
Llewelyn no sold that bullet
Swim away from the baddies – That idea wouldn’t work in a swimming pool I don’t think
That dog is determined!!
That’s another dog dead
Those scars on his back makes him look like a CZW wrestler
Back with Anton
Very mumbly men
This should be called “No Country for Mumblers”
“We close at dark”
Are we now playing 21 Questions
“What’s the most you’ve ever lost on a coin toss?”
Anton knows a lot about dates on coins
The shop keeper just won a lucky quarter, just don’t put it in your pocket
Back with Llewelyn who tells Carla to stay with her mom
Back with Anton
“Am I riding Bitch?”
Anton finds the car circle Llewelyn found earlier
Anton just kills two more policeman… just because
You pay rent for horses?
Ed Tom Bell and Wendell arrives to find a burning car in the desert
Time to ride horses
Ed finds Llewelyns truck
“Oh Hell’s Bells, they even shot the dog”
Ed calls cocaine “Mexican Brown Dope”
Back with Anton whos at Llewelyn’s trailer and his deadly gas can
THIS IS MY HOUSE NOW!
Anton searches the house and finds the bill for a telephone company
Anton then stares into a TV that’s switched off with milk
The sound of a toilet makes Anton leave the manager’s office
Back with Llewelyn and Carla who are on a coach about to leave
Llewelyn leaves
Ed and Wendell arrive at Llewelyn’s trailer
There’s a marking on the wall from when Anton shot the lock off
“We just missed him”
Ed helps himself to the milk left on the table
LLewelyn arrives at a motel and unscrews the grate off the air conditioning
Llewelyn hides the money in the air conditioning – Not a bad idea
What’s the chances that’ll backfire
Time to lay low!
Back with Anton whos ringing numbers on LLewelyn’s phone bill
Llewelyn buys a new pair of boots so he doesn’t get spotted
Llewelyn’s truck is parked outside his room and thinks that something bad’s about to happen
Back with Anton driving along and scares a bird with a bullet
Back with Ed who looks upset that Wendell interrupted his eggs, sausage and tomato breakfast
Ed doesn’t want it no more – WASTE OF FOOD
Welcome to Texas, we sell guns to anyone
Llewelyn rents out a second motel room opposite to the one he originally booked
Back with Anton who drives with his hands close together on the steering wheel
Anton’s tracker leads him to the motel LLewelyn is staying in
I guess the money has a tracker
Anton then rents out a room
What the hell is Llewelyn building
Oh its a hook extender thingy
Also, I think Anton broke into Llewelyn’s original room
What the hell is that?!?!
A gas powered gun of some sorts
Squeaky noises
I guess that old saying “Shoot first, ask questions later” is Anton’s perogitory
Also, I think the Coen Brothers wanted to have a “Actions speak louder than words film”
COINS!!!
If you don’t have a screwdriver, use a coin
The money case left a dust line in the air vents
Meanwhile on the scene of Dallas
Also in Texas, everyone wears a cowboy hat
I think I’m with Ellis in his office along with Carson Wells
How can there be a missing floor?
Llewelyn moves into an another motel which has cats at the reception
Very arty-esk cinematography
Llewelyn searches the money to see if there is a tracker
Turns out there is… Hidden in the money!
Ring the phone… no one answers – Sums up my life (I HAVE NO FRIENDS)
Llewelyn is getting pretty nervous about the situation
Better get my shotgun at the ready
Shadow appears under the doorframe of Llewelyn’s hotel room then the lights go out
Anton’s found him!
Escape through the fire escape!
Antons got, to quote Nonpoint, A BULLET WITH A NAME ON IT!
Anton has a terrible shot
Saying that, Llewelyn just crashed into a parked car and left the money in the truck
What I want to know is this… how is no one hearing these gunshots?!
Llewelyn then drives to the US Border and hides there
Now to quote Shaun of the Dead – “You’ve got read on you”
Llewelyn just bought a strangers coat and beer for $50
Not a bad idea – Throw the money away then puke after seeing a gunshot wound
Llewelyn just casually walks through the border into Mexico no problem
Llewelyn is then awaken by a Mexican band
“100 Bloody Dollars to fuck off”
Back with Anton with cotton balls and a bullet wound in his thigh
Anton just casually lights a car on fire and walks into the backroom of a pharmacy
Now I’m learning about how to heal a bullet wound
That is a lot of blood
I am now grossed out
I thought you stuck the needle for drugs in you ass cheeks
Back with Ed in his office
I now want a cowboy hat
Ed then pulls over a pick-up truck thats carrying something
Back with Llewelyn in the hospital
How did Carson Wells find him
Carson tells Llewelyn about the money
Llewelyn is a retired welder who was in ‘Nam
Carson wants the money
LLewelyn claims he’s spent the money on hookers – $1.5 Million on HOOKERS!!! – Where did he get them, the Playboy Mansion
Back with Ed who meets with Carla
Ed tells her about what’s happened to Llewelyn
Ed doesn’t know why he told Carla everything
“I don’t know, my mind wanders”
Carson then heads to the border and finds the money hidden in grass near what looks like a swamp
Carson then teleports to the hotel
BEHIND YOU!! IT’S ANTON!!!
“Hello Carson. Let’s go to your room”
Do ATM’s withdraw $14,000
Anton and Carson have a chat
“Do you have any idea how crazy you are?”
“You can have the money, Anton”
That phone ringing made me jump!
Anton just shot Carson!
Let me put my feet up so I don’t get blood on my boots
Anton proposes that Llewelyn bring the money and he won’t go stalk his wife
Back with Ed who is being told about what happened at the motel by Wendell
Back with Llewelyn who is at the border
Llewelyn casually walks into a clothes shop in his hospital wear
He then retreaves the money and is at the coach station
He then has a phone conversation with Carla
Back with Anton who casually shoots Ellis in the neck
“Are you going to shoot me?”
“That depends! Do you see me?”
Carla and her mom are in the back of a taxi on the way to El Paso
Once in El Paso, they are met by a mexican gangster
Back with Anton with a broken down car
A chicken farmer helps him out with his car
Anton just killed the chicken farmer and stole his truck
Llewelyn arrives at another motel and is met by a women by the pool
“Beer leads to more beer”
Ed arrives at the motel Llewelyn was at and we find the women who was by the pool dead
And Llewelyn’s DEAD!!!
Oh shit Carlas arrived
Ok so the guy that Carson met in the office and Anton shot wasn’t Ellis
El Paso Sheriff is with Ed near the end of the film
They talk about Anton
Ed returns to the motel where Llewelyn was killed
I have that gut feeling something bad’s about to happen
Anton is in the room sealed off armed and ready
Where is Anton hiding?
Back in the desert where Ed arrives at a shack with lots of cats
So now I know who Ellis is!!!!
Fuck me I’ve been swerved plenty finding out who Ellis is
Ed and Ellis talk about getting old
Now I feel old hearing what Ed and Ellis have to say
Now we’re at Carla’s moms funeral but only for a few seconds before we find Carla at her home
How did Anton get in the house?
“You don’t have to do this?”
“They all say the same thing”
Time for a coin flip
“The coin don’t have no say”
“I got here the same way the coin did”
Anton leaves the house
Fuck me that car crash shat me up
“Are you alright? You got a bone sticking out your arm!”
Anton pays a boy $100 for his shirt to make a sling out of it
Anton just casually walks away
Back with Ed at his home with his wife who has retired
Ed talks about his dad to his wife
His dad was in his dreams last night
I feel old again hearing Ed’s dream with his dad
