Anton is one of the best villains ever, i love him.
The other characters are good as well.
Tom lee jones plays the only characters that i don't get the purpose off.
And the ending is kinda weird.(Shameless plugg but watch or logg my second short https://youtu.be/sg8C7zyVdrU?si=3OeJ2iOS7XAdkAIH

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A relentless collision between a drifter, an unstoppable killer, and an aging lawman who's watching a world he no longer understands slip away. The film moves with inexorable inevitability toward a violence that feels less like plot than like natural law.

Reviews
Old Men, Ranked:
1. Josh Brolin
2. Garrett DillahuntI like this more with each watch, except I can't get over important moments having off screen. Also the last 15 minutes or so loses a lot of steam.
Look, I get why everyone loves this; it's just not something I feel the need to ever watch again. Too much country, too many old men, not enough Garrett Dillahunt and Kelly Macdonald.
There are a few especially memorable standout scenes, usually when Javier is alone with someone he is about to kill, that really make the movie. It goes without saying that I question the hair style. I think it's a strange choice to have so much of the action happen off screen. Multiple shootouts, several named character deaths, all off screen. I guess that's just not the story they're telling.
