No country for old men is an american crime thriller and was adapted from Cormac Mc Carthy's novel and uses a villain driven plot.
The trailer is effective and leaves the audience in suspense by not giving away to much of what is happening but at the same time showing the audience the thrilling scenes then using cuts so that the audience ask themselves, what is going to happen next? The music used in the trailer is non-diegetic and speeds up throughout making it more intense.
Mise-en-scene suggests the film is of a western thriller genre.
Anton Chigurh
Anton Chigurh is the villain in 'No Country For Old Men' his role is a hit-man who has no remorse or compassion for human beings therefore can kill without guilt. His expression in most of his actions are plain so you can never tell what he is thinking or feeling. In one scene he flips a coin and gets the man at the gas station to guess heads or tails to decide his fate. To kill people he uses a captive bolt pistol he also uses this to shoot out locked doors. This is a unique choice of weapon suggesting that he is different from the usual criminal.
