The Essential 2000s Crime Neo-Western Gets The Ultimate Release
If there’s one thing we can learn from No Country for Old Men, it’s that if you ever stumble on a drug deal gone bad in the middle of the desert, and there’s a bag of said drug money just sitting there, don’t (I repeat, Don’t!) take it and run. Because if you do, you are sure to have one of the world’s all-time psychos hot on your trail for the foreseeable future. No Country for Old Men 4K should punch that lesson home in incredible detail.
No Country for Old Men Criterion Collection
Such is the case with No Country for Old Men, one of the instant-classic modern Neo-Western movies we’ve seen come along in the last couple of decades.
And now it’s getting its considerable due with the announcement that a No Country for Old Men 4K Criterion Collection version of the movie is coming later this year. We’ll get to see that bolt pistol blow the locks off doors in stunning clarity now. Isn’t that what you really wanted?

Drug Deal Gone Bad
No Country for Old Men 4K, is set in 1980s Texas with Josh Brolin’s Llewelyn Moss stumbling on the fallout of a drug deal gone bad. Everyone is dead and the money is just sitting there. Javier Bardem’s Anton Chigurh is tasked with finding Llewelyn and the money, giving us one of the truly bone-chilling villains we’ve ever seen on the screen.
Tommy Lee Jones plays Sheriff Ed Tom Bell who is trying to track down, well, both of them and figure out exactly why so many people are dying on his watch.
An Award Winner
No Country for Old Men took home the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay, the Coen Brothers won Best Director, and Javier Bardem nabbed Best Supporting Actor. It’s a classic through and through.
