Money, the Root of All Evil – “No Country For Old Men” Movie Review

January 15th, 2009

“No Country for Old Men” is the story of what happens when money consumes the lives of two men, portrayed oppositely as good and evil.

We are slowly drawn into the story, making it no longer an action movie and continuous “chase”, but instead a drama of how one action can change the lives of so many people.
