No Country for Old Men is the best movie I haven't liked in a while. By that I mean this—evil is cast a potent while the good is feeble. Ayn Rand called this the malevolent universe premise.
No spoilers here. I'll just say that it was interesting to read a Time magazine article about the Coen brothers collaboration with Cormac McCarthy. The Time picture contrasting the brothers with McCarthy told a story in itself. The story in the film ends up being a fusion of gripping story-telling (thank you, Coen brothers, for the screenplay) and the aforementioned malevolent universe premise (no thank you, Mr. McCarthy).
