An Honest Trailer for No Country for Old Men

I always had a hard time distinguishing No Country for Old Men from There Will Be Blood, because they were both violent movies that came out in 2007 that I never saw. No Country for Old Men is the one by the Coen brothers that starred Javier Bardem as the big bad. Oh yeah, and it also won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture. While Bardem as Anton Chigurh sucked up all the promotional material for the movie, it also starred Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Kelly Macdonald, and Woody Harrelson. The film was a big hit, but it was so tense and intimidating that it would take a special kind of movie fan to watch it twice. Screen Junkies did, and they bring us a refreshing Honest Trailer that takes the terror down a notch by pointing out the cliches, tropes, and contradictions in No Country For Old Men that the audience missed because they were cringing in their seats.
