The ending made me furious the first time and it is now my favourite ending of anything. Took me two more viewings to get there.
Llewelyn Moss stumbles upon dead bodies, $2 million and a hoard of heroin in a Texas desert, but methodical killer Anton Chigurh comes looking for it, with local sheriff Ed Tom Bell hot on his trail. The roles of prey and predator blur as the violent pursuit of money and justice collide.

The coin toss at the petrol station is the most frightening two minutes I have seen and nobody raises their voice.

The silence is the whole trick. No music at all and I was still tense enough to notice my own breathing in the motel scene.
Why this scoreSpecific craft observation tied to a bodily reaction; strong.
