No Country for Old Men (2007)

This is sort of a modern version of a Western movie but with a botched drug deal and some Mexican cartels running around looking for stolen drug money. The highlight is this huge menacing psychopathic outlaw that goes around killing people in Texas. He basically goes around messing with people to decide whether to kill them or not and genuinely enjoys the selection process.

About halfway through, I realized that there had not been any music in the entire movie. None. No Country for Old Men relies on the hardness of the action and the perplexity of the conversations to move the story along without any embellishment. That, and a huge menacing South American hitman with a deep croaky voice.

This movie doesn't have a fucking ending.
