He plays Anton Chigurh an assassin.
The great thing about this movie is that it looks at the characters motivations in doing what they do,and how they do things.
Very simple, very plain.
The character with the most depth to me was Anton, simply because there wasn't any real way to know his motivation. Just a job, annoyance, just because, the others deserve it? You had to assume.
The character was interesting too because whatever his motivation, he tried to distance himself from the killing decision.
Flipping coins, asking his victims random questions, giving arbitrary choices.
All Arbitrary. Not in his mind of course but still arbitrary. If I met him in real life I can tell that there would be a lot of miscommunication between us.
The character doesn't speak to you, just at you. No matter what you say, he's already onto his next thought his next step, his next action.
Interesting that he wouldn't take responsibility for his actions. Interesting but typical..it's always someone else's fault..They didn't connect to his thought process quickly enough or perfectly enough...always their fault.
