This film is nearly perfect. Even now, 15y years later it still holds up and seems timeless. The dialog can be a tiny bit cute, with Sheriff Ed Tom dropping one-liners a mile a minute in his droll, deadpan way, but they are all great one-liners you will find yourself quoting to your friends. Anyway it's very funny and dark at the same time which is a tough balancing act that the Cohens perfected in this film.

I should say that the cinematography is beautiful also. People talk about the amazing acting but the barren landscape of Texas doesn't seem to get much mention despite the "Country" featuring in the title itself plays a starring role in the film from the first scene.

An opportunity presents to get rich quick, a stash of cash made up of bills thick as a brick, but your conscience sets a trail, for a reaper to assail, a real psycho, has a vessel with a kick. You start to make a run, but you're tracked down, these pursuers cause a grimace, and a frown, until you spot the hidden tracker, locater for deadly attacker, you make escape, but get injured, as you leave town. Determination keeps the story rolling on, everyone risks, the singing of, their own swan song, the lives of others are ignored, fate, luck, destiny explored, but the bounty counts for nothing, if you're long gone.

Some of the finest cinematic characters you'll encounter.
