There have been a flurry of new films coming out on DVD-- and this includes Oscar winning and Oscar nominated films. What's really interesting is the timing of several films being released at one time-- 3 Oscar nominated films (* 2 are winners in different categories) that are very dark in tone, theme and the acting - both in the key performers and the cast -- is totally superb!

No Country for Old Men was a stunning ensemble film that was entirely dark based on the book by Cormac McCarthy.

It's about a serial killer played by Javier Bardem who won for Best Supporting Actor. I won't give away the plot because it's key other than the cast includes Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Woody Harrelson and Kelly Macdonald. It's a distinctly dark movie about cat and mouse, life and death at the toss of a coin and mercy is a word that is never heard. It's not a speedy movie-- but it sustains the tension throughout- enough to drain the life from you.
Definitely not for the faint of heart or those who want a "fun" movie, it's a great one for serious thriller fans.
Here's a trailer on the movie:

Available at Amazon.com

Not for the faint of heart!! Be forewarned!!
