Llewelyn Moss stumbles upon dead bodies, $2 million and a hoard of heroin in a Texas desert, but methodical killer Anton Chigurh comes looking for it, with local sheriff Ed Tom Bell hot on his trail. The roles of prey and predator blur as the violent pursuit of money and justice collide.

Ari Aster says:

A monument. 

The metronomic pacing, the impossibly vivid sound design (so muscular that it functions as a pervasive ambient score), the indelible atmosphere, the austerity...the violence! Everything is perfectly judged. Including one of the greatest casts ever assembled. Even that Carter Burwell end credits cue is better than anything!

Every new Western must contend with this one. How to avoid it?? Certainly no point in competing.
