Rick Groen in The Globe and Mail gave it a rave.
Excerpt:
"Fate's impassive coin toss, evil's relentless pursuit, the
unwise bravado of youth, the sad inadequacy of wisdom -
novelist Cormac McCarthy invested all his classic themes into
No Country for Old Men, but with a difference. In contrast to
the baroquely wordy books that cemented his reputation (the
Faulknerian locutions of Suttree, the Biblical cadences of
Blood Meridian), this one is succinctly plotted and powered
almost exclusively by taut dialogue. In fact, it already
reads like a screenplay, a masterful screenplay, and the Coen
brothers have taken full advantage of the gift. Their
adaptation is impeccable, a perfect mirror of McCarthy's
prose - sparse, suspenseful, probing and profoundly
disturbing."
