Definitely one of the most intense non-horror films ever made, Javier Bardem is absolutely terrifying in this role and really adds to the suspense and intensity of the film. Joel and Ethan Coen really capture the essence of westerns in such a modern and refreshing way through the incredible writing and directing and the cinematography really just hammers this home. It’s genuinely amazing how such a bleak and depressing film still feels so suspenseful and in no way boring. Out of what I’ve seen from the Coens this is probably my favourite which is saying a lot. It would also be wrong not to mention Josh Brolin and Tommy Lee Jones’ phenomenal performances and the last scene is absolutely perfect.
