First Line:
I sent one boy to the gaschamber at Huntsville. One and only one. My arrest and my testimony. I went up there and visited with him two or three times. Three times. The last time was the day of his execution. I didn't want to go but I did. I sure didn't want to go.
Description:
Stumbling upon a bloody massacre, a cache of heroin, and more than $2 million in cash during a hunting trip near the Rio Grande, Llewelyn Moss removes the money, a decision that draws him and his young wife into the middle of a violent confrontation in which their only hope of survival is local sheriff Ed Tom Bell. Reissue. (A Paramount Vantage film, written & directed by Joel Coen & Ethan Coen, releasing Fall 2007 starring Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Woody Harrelson, Kelly MacDoonald, & Garret Dillahunt) (Suspense)
Selected Reviews:
"[A] formidable display of stunningly written scenes....Magnificent writing...makes the best case yet for putting McCarthy on a pedestal just below the one occupied by William Faulkner."
