Curiosità:

Anton Chigurgh and Llewellyn Moss (played by Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin respectively) are seen dressing injuries a sum of five times in the movie. Five is also the number of locks that Anton breaks in the movie.

Errori:

Errori di fatto: The cattle gun used to blow the cylinder out of the center of the lock is not possible as shown in the movie. If the center of the lock was blown out, the bolt that secures the door to the frame (the large steel piece that slides out of a lock when you turn the key on a deadbolt) would still remain in place, and would still remain securing the door to the frame. Simply blowing the cylinder out would not be sufficient for quick or easy entry it would simply eliminate the need for a key. One would have to be able to fit a tool or their finger into the hole that was created and somehow pull the bolt back into the door, or possibly have to rotate the entire mechanism inside of the lock housing, as you would with the rotation of a key - and therefore ruining the element of surprise.

Citazioni:

[first lines]
Ed Tom Bell: I was sheriff of this county when I was twenty-five years old. Hard to believe. My grandfather was a lawman; father too. Me and him was sheriffs at the same time; him up in Plano and me out here. I think he's pretty proud of that. I know I was. Some of the old time sheriffs never even wore a gun...

Simply spectacular

If you like films that literally take your breath away, then this goes to the top of the list.

As stated elsewhere, Javier Bardem is so spectacularly evil and menacing that, if I were Mrs Bardem, I'd be worried about him coming home at night. The man exuded controlled evil, and I found myself not breathing when he came onto screen, yet couldn't take my eyes from him - a truly mesmerising presence.

Tommy Lee Jones turns in a belter of a performance, and mention should also be made of Kelly MacDonald who nails a faultless Texan accent alongside a multi-layered performance (despite the paucity of her screen time).

Beautifully shot, as you would expect, and with some (welcome) moments of humour amongst the gore, this is a very very fine film. Miss it at your peril, because when those little golden men are being handed out next year in LA, I predict a lot of them will be going to this film. A belter.
