Based on the acclaimed novel by Pulitzer Prize winning American master Cormac McCarthy. The time is our own, when rustlers have given way to drug runners & small towns have become free fire zones. The story begins when Llewelyn Moss finds a pickup truck surrounded by a sentry of dead men. A load of heroin & two million in cash are still in the back. When Moss takes the money, he sets off a chain reaction of catastrophic violence that not even the law - the aging, disillusioned Sheriff Bell - can contain. As Moss tries to evade his pursuers - in particular a mysterious mastermind who flips coins for human lives - the film simultaneously strips down the American crime drama & broadens its concerns to encompass themes as ancient as the Bible & as bloodily contemporary as this morning’s headlines.Tuesday, July 17, 2007
