No Country for Old Men is one of the better films to be released in the 21st Century. It looks beautiful, features brilliant performances, and leaves the viewer enthralled for every second of its running time. This film features the finest examples of what the Coen Brothers do best, namely finding humor in the most grim of circumstances. Javier Bardem manages to create one of the most frightening movie villains of recent memory, yet we still find ourselves laughing at some of his most diabolical actions. No Country for Old Men is undoubtedly the best picture of 2007, a particularly strong year for American film.
Other nominees: Atonement (Joe Wright), Juno (Jason Reitman), Michael Clayton (Tony Gilroy), and There Will Be Blood (Paul Thomas Anderson)
