Javier Bardem creates one of the great screen nut jobs in Anton Chigurh – a homicidal drug dealer stalking Josh Brolin across the dust-caked southern states to retrieve a suitcase full of cash.
Adapting Cormac McCarthy’s novel has brought out the Coens’ A-game for the first time in ages.
This pitch-black, beautifully crafted thriller is one of their best, even if it does slip into opacity before the end.
