Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great Movie, Bad Service from Amazon.co.uk Comment: I had ordered this title in the 3 for 2 offer in october 2008 , and was subsequently informed that it was out of stock and the estimated arrival date would be 14/04/09! Obviously I canceled it, only to find out that it is now back in stock! Now is that some bad customer service or what...

Comment: 'No Country For Old Men' is the movie adaption of the novel by Cormac McCarthy and begins when Llewellyn Moss is out hunting when he comes across the scene of a drug deal gone wrong where several bodies have been shot to death. At the scene he finds a briefcase containing about 2.4 million dollars. He then makes the decision of taking it and going on the run which leads him into a whole world of trouble. Also an escaped prisoner and ruthless murderer Anton Chigurh (not Sugar!) is on the loose and is also after the money, killing anybody who gets in his way. Sherriff Bell is on the case in one of the most dangerous of his life. I was dying to see this film months ago after seeing the trailers and missed it when it was at the cinema, so read the novel in eager anticipation of the DVD release and I have to admit that I wasn't impressed by it at all, mainly because of how badly it was written. Luckily the Coens have done an excellent job of taking the decent parts of the book and the story, which was actually very good, and have came up with one of the best and exciting thrillers I've seen in years. The film starts of quite slowly but as soon as Moss finds the cash the chase is on and it is a literally non-stop pursuit with so much tension for the next hour and a half. Anton is a truly terrifying character that seems to be so heartless and ruthless with the way he just kills anybody who gets in his way, with his air canister or silenced shotgun. Llewelyn's character is also much better in the film than he is in the book as in the book he was very arrogant and irritating which made me not care too much what happened to him really but in the film his character is much more likeable and did make me want him to get away. Overall this is one of the best thrillers I've seen in a very long time with amazing action and excitement, a great cast and characters and some really breathtaking scenery and camera work. The only thing that lets this down a little is the ending which sort of just trails off and then finishes suddenly, leaving you guessing what happens next. Anyway, I highly recommend this DVD/Blu Ray and would definitely recommend this over the book. The Coens have done it again and created yet another cinema masterpiece. More Reviews
