He is one of the most bad ass villains in movie history. (that coin toss scene in the gas station is gold, btw.) I think that the part where he says “I can’t guarantee you that you can save yourself, because you can’t.” Is soooo underrated. Most villains in that situation would lie and say that as long as they get their money or what they want, the person will live, but not him. He is true to his word and negotiated as best as he felt he could. Haunting!! What a great film.
Wrong. His reaction is "told you so!" Wells tried to get Anton to spare his life arguing he could help him get the money back. Anton told him the money would be brought to him. Llewellyn tell him "you won't have to come looking for me at all" proving Anton right.
@Wish I Was Sleeping i like to think it’s a mix of both. and that this was the point where he realized Moss was the closest thing he had to a worthy opponent
Actually he was a match for him in the end. Anton was not actually able to kill him and nearly got himself killed chasing him. The cartel caught up with Llewelyn Moss otherwise Anton may not have survived himself. The survival scene with Llewelyn getting chased by the pitbull should have been an indicator along with him stating his military service in Vietnam that he was just as dangerous as Anton.
His reaction isn't to the hangup or threats. Before Wells died he plead with Anton by saying he could help him get the money back. Anton didn't need his help as the phone call proved. His reaction was "told you so!".
in the book Chigurh replies ''That's good. You were starting to disappoint me''. I think Chigurh was a little disappointed that he didn't get to kill Moss himself. Moss was the closest thing he had to a worthy opponent.
probably because his personality makes sense, seems real and motivation can be real. Nothing like "ohh i'm loyal to my boss so i will bring money back to him" instead we are getting killer with own rules that we could use aswell. "corrupted man - bad guy/honorable man - good guy. (also threat is threat so everything is as simple as kid's mind).
mike johnson I was bored and had time to kill on a Sunday evening when it was in the cinemas. Went and saw it even though I'm really not a "film guy" and had never heard of Bardem nor did I know anything from the film itself. Was just looking to kill a couple hours before going home. Blew my mind. Had the same experience that summer with The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, too.
Best two line in the movie in my opinion: 1. When Moss tells Anton that he is going to make him a “special project of mine.” 2. When the mother in law say that she had “the cancer.”
Sometimes when I get a phone call from the scammers, I pick it up and start talking to them trying to imitate Anton's voice, I fucking love it, too bad they usually hang up quickly.
He got killed because he was too busy screwing the lady at the hotel to notice the mexican gang before it was too late, so his wife wasn't that important to him afterall.
J Silva hindsight bias really. in a normal traditional movie, this could be perceived as badass as not negotiating with the bad guy before he wins the shootout against him, get his woman back and walks off with his money.
Agreed- it was completely foolish. He was refusing to see things as they were. Even if somehow he killed Chigurh, (which wasnt impossible)someone else would look for him. The cycle would continue until Moss and his wife were dead. He could have just saved his wife and made the whole ordeal stop.
“Hello?” “Yes.” “Is a... Carson Wells there?” “...not a sense that you mean. You need to come see me.” “Who is this?” “You know who it is... you need to talk to me.”
I love the Texas accents "Yeah I am going to bring you something alright! I decided to make you a special project of mine! you don't have to come to look for me at all"
I always felt his best chance at taking out Anton was when they threw down at the hotel. Moss had the element of surprise;if he went toe to toe with Anton instead of running with the money the outcome would've been different, for sure.
@@tabbypappy All moss had to do. Was NOT sit in front of his hotel door when Anton breaks in. A fucking Army vet is just gonna sit up right in front of a door that has a killer behind and he knows it. He could have sat off to the side. Or used the bed as cover, then as the lock shoots out the door. Boom. A dead anton. 1 simple fuck up changes the course of the whole movie.
Chigurh's facial expression after Moss hangs up. Fucking genius....this movie REEKS of good performances. But then again...you can trust the Coen brothers to select these guys.
Had a nightmare where I got pulled over, and some guy was about to tow the car and I see this guy in a tow company uniform and when he turned around... "Oh. I'm so fucked."
Bugs 🐛 🕷on the windshield ...what does one do, about ...the bugs 🐛 🪳on the windshield? What do the bugs, 🪲 get from the windshield? What's their trip? I don't know 😕
This could have turned into one of the most epic and awesome endings of a movie. Moss turning the tables on Chigurh. Instead the movie took a dive after this point. I really like the movie, went out and read the book afterwards. But the movie ended poorly and strangely, with no clear point. It built to a climax that slowly melted instead of exploding like a supernova.
I think the point of the movie is not all of the bad folks out there get caught. Most US movies will show the tables being turned on the bad guy, but sometimes that is not reality.
The bad guy could have still won. But the ending fizzled. Even the timeline got screwed up. Why did it show Anton in the motel as the Sheriff was about to enter? And yes, I have read the book, albeit in 2008. And is it so unrealistic that Moss would go after Chigurh after Chigurh told him he would kill his wife? Moss in the book was a two-tour Vietnam Veteran and a sniper. For a movie so gritty and realistic, I didn't need nor want a splintered metaphorical ending. I have read some of Cormac Mccarthy's other works. They have ended better.
The fact that you thought this was an action thriller movie is due to not digging deeper. Don't just ignore dialogue in scenes, pay attention. Watch again and really think about Sheriff Bell's opening monologue. This movie is not about stolen money, or chases, or gunfights. It's about how we face a world full of death and chaos. Moss and Chigurh's chase only matters in that it teaches us, and Bell, something about the perils of "pushing your chips in". The last reel of the movie is the strongest, not the weakest, because it is about the way in which Sheriff Bell comes to his final decision. Everything has been about that.
How is the ending splintered? Moss dying the way he did made perfect sense. Yes, Moss is a badass himself, but things didn't work out for him. I thought the anticlimactic ending was fitting.
'Not in the sense that you mean...'
Who is this ? Bad Guy in the world 😕
so much for chigur not having a sense of humor
The fact he looked over at him like yea he’s long gone pal

He not gonna bullshit or sugar coat it
I can at least respect he kept it real too. Had Moss given him the money I'm certain he would've let his wife go
"that's the best deal you're gonna get"
Anton's face after he hangs up on him, like is this guy crazy hanging up on me? He was in genuine shock LOL
bLaCjAcK Daniels
Like he's looking at the film crew off-screen and going, "the balls on this fuckin' kid!"
Wrong. His reaction is "told you so!" Wells tried to get Anton to spare his life arguing he could help him get the money back. Anton told him the money would be brought to him. Llewellyn tell him "you won't have to come looking for me at all" proving Anton right.
@Wish I Was Sleeping i like to think it’s a mix of both. and that this was the point where he realized Moss was the closest thing he had to a worthy opponent
Wish I Was Sleeping Lol last thing Llewelyn was doing was bringing him the money.
Antons reaction is because the PREY IS GOING TO THE PREDITOR and anton thinks its going to save him the time and energy.
I like the facial expression at the end " ohh I can't believe he threaten me and hung up, doesn't he know who he is dealing with?! "
Actually he was a match for him in the end. Anton was not actually able to kill him and nearly got himself killed chasing him.

@@cybernautadventurer Did you notice in the book how Anton took the call from Moss on a cell phone? The movie is set in 1980.
I think he's more like "Huh? Guess he doesn't love his wife that much after all..."
I think this is the best coen movie
Not in the sense you mean

He's such a great bad guy because he isn't a bad guy. He's just a guy who kills.
The tea has been spilled.
Yo his voice is so relaxing
After his near fatal crash, Chigurh retired to start an ASMR channel.
Shallow affect
This is one of my favorite movies.

craig hathaway I love that line.

Same here
This scene had me thinking Llewellyn would seize the day.
In chess, two kings can never get within one space of each other.
Dude, did you come up with that line?
He had a chance to save his wife but he decided to risk her life instead.
Yeah, but his wife called it- Anton decides what Anton does, no one else.
He got killed because he was too busy screwing the lady at the hotel to notice the mexican gang before it was too late, so his wife wasn't that important to him afterall.

Why did he look at the dead body as if it was going to give him an answer at the end?

Brilliant!

One of the greatest movies ever

We all watched the damn video you don't have to quote it buddy
@@harryburrows2112 stop being a smartass and let him quote a scene he likes dickhead
that guy man you need to come see me...
Llewellyn hung up on him...and he was shocked beyond belief. Like he was thinking, "who would dare do that to me?"
still my favorite scene in the movie
0:53 *You ALREADY asked me that!* (give him a taste of his own medicine!!)
Where do you work? Did you not hear me? I can’t give out no information
😅
Imagine a staring contest with Anton...
I heard you were cancelled
I would of like to of seen that special project.
“I would’ve liked to have seen that special project”. Fixed it for you.

moss was able to wound chigur so he had a chance at beating him I thought.

I think head to head Mos would have won, which is why he got blind sided by the Cartels. He kind of forgot about those guys.
@@tabbypappy They did go toe to toe pretty much lol. And they both ended up severely injured.
1:50 was the reason why pay phones were beat the shit when you used them

You know how this is gonna turn out ! Don't ya
Nope
I would have told him, how is your leg doing after that shotgun blast?
Moss did not know from which part of the body he got Anton
Pure pyscho
I had nightmares about Anton. Scary ass dude and a good ass movie too.
Mr Nobody me too
Had a nightmare where I got pulled over, and some guy was about to tow the car and I see this guy in a tow company uniform and when he turned around... "Oh. I'm so fucked."
"Do you know how many people I know in El Paso? ZERO! 0️⃣ That's how many'

Why is his mouth open when he picks up the phone
Arguably one of the scariest villains in cinematic history. Anton = death.

how did Anton know where Lewellyn is?
The same way Carson did...
He knew he was in a hospital because he put him there.
@@lastEvergreen I thought the Mexican singers did that
Anton was the reason Llewelyn needed to go to the hospital in the first place. Because he put a couple bullet holes in him the other night.
Anton chigurh style dating
You need to talk to me. I think you do.

you need to talk to me
Dude got his wife killed and hinself.... all bc he went back to take the dead man some agua smh
