However, none of these characters are as important as Sheriff Ed Tom Bell (Jones), a local lawman who must track down Chigurh before he finds Moss. This large sum belongs to a cold killer named Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), who will ruthlessly and methodically kill anyone who gets in his way to retrieving it.
Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) finds two million dollars in the Texas desert. These two ideas are inextricably linked, of course. One would also be hard-pressed to find a more cynical one. One would be hard-pressed to find a better example of the neo-western genre than No Country for Old Men. He is lauded the world over and deservedly so. With his wide range, he is as beloved by casual audiences as much as he is by film geeks.
How is it possible that one man can play one of the most gleefully cartoonish villains in the Batman canon and turn around to give a key performance in Joel and Ethan Coen’s best and grimmest film? Jones has done this and much, much more. Tommy Lee Jones’ strengths as an actor far outweigh his weaknesses.
