No Country for Old Men id a 2007 crime thriller film directed by the Coen brothers. It tells the story of a botched drug deal and the ensuing cat and mouse drama, as three men crisscross each other's paths in the desert landscape of 1980 West Texas.

The film starts with establishing shots of the desert landscape of West Texas. this give us the feeling of desolate area which is wide open which gives the feeling of isolation as there is nothing around and no one around. This bring tension and is what starts to make the film more like a thriller as it has already got you asking questions about it.

The next scene shows a police officer arresting a man . However we do not see this mans face which creates more tension and suspence as you want to no who has been arrested. The man that has been arrested also has some sort of tank on him this creates even more tension as you want to no what itis and what it is used for. While the police officer is on the phone to the Sheriff the man that has just been arrested is going through his handcuffs so that they are in front of him this makes you want to no what is going to happen next as you have scene what it is like outside and there isn't really anywhere to run to so you want to no what he is going to do. The man then attacks the police office and strangles the police officer from behind with the chain of the handcuffs. this now makes the film more tense and has more action in as you have just had a police officer get killed by the man that he just arrested this make you want to no why the man just killed him. It brings death into the film but not only death also murder. The next thing you see is the murdered washing all the blood off his hands and it seems like an everyday thing to him and he doesn't seemed phased by it.
