I just rewatched No Country for Old Men last night and boy has it aged well. The movie is timeless.

To this day, Javier’s role in No Country is one of the best acting performance’s I’ve ever witnessed. Absolutely out of this world. Right up there next to Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood

[@robertosantos-vx6pn]

That scene in the gas station where he flips a coin to see whether the old man lives or dies has to be one of the scariest in history. Great actor.

You gotta give credit to guy who played the clerk as well. He really nailed it too.

Nah, he's way better where he is now.

[@Stuart267]

He's too good for Late Night. You seen the hacks on that slot? Fallon, Kimmel, Corden & my personal worst John Oliver. All of them are garbage who don't do comedy, the do politics & their failing viewership is proof of this.

He is not woke enough for the executives these days. You are so right.

[@danieljohnston1914]

He didn't say much, in the movie ' No Country For Old Men', but we all knew his intentions. Javier Bardem's performance was Oscar worthy for sure. The entire cast was top shelf acting.
