9. No Country For Old Men
The success of the Cohen Brothers’ Oscar-winning Best Picture rests entirely on the shoulders ofJavier Bardem, who justly won an Academy Award for his stunning performance. As Anton Chigurh, a merciless hitman sent to recover stolen money in a small Texas town, Bardem is chilling as a man who intimidates victims by asking them to flip a coin to decide their fate. Wandering into this town, he’s soon involved in the hunt for the money which has him targeted by the local sheriff, played by Tommy Lee Jones. The death toll rises as Anton tells the thief that he’ll spare the man’s wife if he gives up the cash but he refuses. SEE ALSO: 10 Famous athletes nudes that got leaked (With Pictures)
It all comes down to Anton confronting the wife who refuses the coin flip, telling Anton the choice to kill her is his. We see Anton leave the house, checking his shoes for blood and getting into an accident. Rather than this be the moment that trips him up and he’s captured, he manages to escape with just a minor wound and with the money as well. In the end, Jones realizes there was nothing he could do as, like a dark specter, Anton leaves all this damage in his wake and vanishes as quickly as he came. A fitting end to a stunning drama that deserves all its accolades.
