No Country For Old Men

There are no clean getaways
"No Country for Old Men" is a mesmerizing new thriller from Academy Award® winning filmmakers Joel Coen & Ethan Coen, based on the acclaimed novel by Pulitzer Prize winning American master Cormac McCarthy. The time is our own, when rustlers have given way to drug-runners and small towns have become free-fire zones.
The story begins when Llewelyn Moss (Brolin) finds a pickup truck surrounded by a sentry of dead men. A load of heroin and two million dollars in cash are still in the back. When Moss takes the money, he sets off a chain reaction of catastrophic violence that not even the law - in the person of aging, disillusioned Sheriff Bell (Jones) - can contain. As Moss tries to evade his pursuers - in particular a mysterious mastermind who flips coins for human lives (Bardem) - the film simultaneously strips down the American crime drama and broadens its concerns to encompass themes as ancient as the Bible and as bloodily contemporary as this morning’s headlines.

How many wrongs to make it right?
For Erica Bain (Jodie Foster), the streets of New York are both her home and her livelihood. She shares the sounds and the stories of her beloved city with her radio audience as the host of the show "Street Walk." At night, she goes home to the love of her life, her fiancé David Kirmani (Naveen Andrews). But everything Erica knows and loves is ripped from her on one terrible night when she and David are ambushed in a random, vicious attack that leaves David dead and Erica close to it.
Though Erica’s broken body heals, deeper wounds remain — the devastation of losing David and, even more overwhelming, a suffocating fear that haunts her every step. The city streets she had once loved to roam, even places that had been warm and familiar, now feel strange and threatening.
The Bourne Ultimatum

This summer, Bourne comes home.
"The first two films were very good at being powered by questions. ’Who am I? ’Who killed my girl?’ And the answers that he gets in the first two movies are satisfying, but not complete. This third film has got to be about answers. By the end of this film, you’ve got to understand how Jason Bourne became Jason Bourne.
– Director Paul Greengrass
In 2002’s The Bourne Identity, he tried to discover who he was. In 2004’s The Bourne Supremacy, he exacted revenge for what was done to him. Now, he is coming home and has only these words for his pursuers: "I remember everything."

He will challenge their traditions. Their traditions will change his life.
"This isn’t just about you. This is about all of us."
- Duron Williams, Stomp the Yard

But before he can help his teammates, he must battle his own demons and learn the true meaning of brotherhood.
