Rico says there are scary movies (which he won't watch), and then there are movies that scare you, and then there are movies that scare the crap out of you (like this one). If Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh isn't the scariest guy in moviedom, he'll do until someone scarier comes along. Tommy Lee Jones is brilliant, as ever, and makes the movie worth watching. The book by Cormac McCarthy was excellent, too, but one will spoil you for the other...(In attempting to find a derivation for Chigurh, unsuccessfully thus far, though a 'Bulgarian' suggestion sounded right, Rico did run across a LinkedIn list of five Anton Chigurhs, with one in Monaco who is doing 'Alternative Dispute Resolution'. Sounds like our boy, but the one at Chigurh Enterprises in Chicago has Javier Bardem's photo on his page, and also does 'Permanent Alternative Conflict Resolution', so that one's probably a goof as well...)
