Where can No Country For Old Men be found online and is it on Netflix, Hulu or Prime? No Country For Old Men is based on the novel of the same name by Cormac McCarthy (The Road) and is remarkably faithful to the original text. The story is set in 1980 and follows Josh Brolin's Llewelyn Moss as he steals a bag of drug money from the site of a deal gone wrong, and finds himself pursued by a Terminator-style hitman named Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem). A worn-out sheriff named Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) tries to find and save Moss but finds himself ill-matched to deal with the trail of chaos and bloodshed left behind by Chigurh.
No Country For Old Men was directed by the Coen Brothers and by their own admission its about as close to an action film as they'll ever come. It features some unbearably tense setpieces, such as Moss' escape from Chigurh in a hotel, and it subverts classic narrative tropes from the Western genre. It also features some fantastic performances, with Bardem being downright terrifying as the relentless Chigurh, who operates out of his own twisted sense of morality and basically functions as a walking metaphor for death.
No Country For Old Men remains one of the Coen Brothers' best works - which is really saying something. The movie isn't hard to track down online either, though it's not currently available on Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime in the U.S. The movie is available to stream on services like Starz or Hoopla, however, and can be rented or purchased from prices starting at $3.99 from platforms like YouTube, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu or FandangoNOW.
For UK subscribers to the service, No Country For Old Men can presently be found on Netflix. The movie went on to win four Academy Awards, including Best Supporting Actor for Bardem. A point of contention with some viewers is the film's "abrupt" ending, and the fact Chigurh seemingly gets away with no confrontation between him and Jones' sheriff. Instead, the final scene focuses on a now retired Bell recounting two dreams to his wife, both of which are loaded with symbolism.
This subdued ending annoyed some audiences but No Country For Old Men was never going to be the kind of story that ended with the villain arrested and the good guys prevailing. This is one reason the film sticks with viewers long after they've seen it.
