Not a movie for people with frivolous minds. They will hate it.
Here's a pretty good review of No Country:

About Cormac McCarthy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cormac_McCarthy
His trilogy "All the Pretty Horses," "The Crossing", and "Cities of the
Plain" is very powerful. Excellent writing, original style.
McCarthy's novels are like Greek tragedies or stories from the Old
Testament. People face reality. We watch how they react.
I recommend "The Crossing". It's a novel about a man and a wolf. That's all.
No fluffy dialog, no silly love stories. A man, a wolf, and how they deal
with each other.
