I thought the ending was great. It wasn't about the crime or the criminals, it was about the sheriff and what he represents. But in terms of the story instead of the plot, Anton got the money and killed the wife, the car accident was a random occurance.
Anton was a man of character and he promised that he would kill the wife. Notice him checking his shoes for blood as he's exitting the house. The real question that kept running through my head was what exactly he meant when he told her "I got here the same way the coin did". Did he mean it wasn't his choice? That someone else (her husband) brought him there? Did he mean he wasn't there to decide her fate, that it was her job to do it (by calling it)? I think he was explaining himself, that he was bound to his word and had no choice in her death, her husband chose to flip the coin and he lost.
As for the money, the sheriff went back to the motel and saw the heating grate open and money gone, with a dime used to open it. Anton went back to the crime scene after the shootout (as the local cop mentioned to the sheriff) knowing that Lou-Ellen (sp?) would hide the suitcase in the heating duct as he had done before. The money was "delivered" to Anton as he said it would be just before killing Woody Harrelson. The Mexicans tracked it down, did a sloppy job killing him, didn't find the money, and left it for Anton to easily pick up after the fact.
The car accident was random, it happens. Maybe an attempt at karma? No one get's away clean? It did further prove that Anton had the money since he gave the kid a bloddy $100 bill. What do you think?
Funny I watched this last night. Also watched it when it was released. Yes it is a great movie.The Coen Bros. have done it again. This time around, I would rate this movie just as good as FARGO, if not better. If you like a good story, good action, intelligent progression in a movie then you too will approve "No Country for Old Men." Bardem, who plays the professional killer/assassin does an horrifyingly realistic portrayal of a killer. There were times were I was almost too horrified to look at him (Bardem), yet I could not turn my attention away from his strong presence. This movie was so good, I ordered two of Cormac's books from Amazon, after watching the movie.
I give it :thumbup::thumbup:
