Factual error: When Chigurh is in the gas station and throws the wrapper on the counter, the "Nutrition Facts" are visible on the label. Set in 1980, the "Nutrition Facts" label wouldn't have been available for at least another fourteen years, as nutrition labels were started in 1994.

Too many errors to be rated high although this was a very entertaining movie.
10/10.One of the best crime noir movies ever made.I would say it easily belongs in the top 20. Tommy Lee Jones gives his best performance ever here, with enthusiasm.Javier Bardem's Anton Chigurth is easily one of the best movie villains ever.He displays the casual way of going about and killing people.It leads to the question of whether or not he truly likes doing it or sees it merely as a job.The unforgiving countryside of Texas makes for a perfect atmospshere as Josh Brolin flees with ill gotten gains.The scene that stuck out the most for me was him speaking with a gas station owner.The way he flips the coin while saying"Everything.You stand to win everything.You been putting it up your whole life, you just didn't know it."I found that chilling.If you like crime noir movies then you'll enjoy No Country For Old Men which shows the evolving ways of the criminal mind.

More trivia for No Country For Old Men
Question: How did Chigurh get his gun back? After the shootout in the hotel, when Moss is first hit, occupies the car and then shoots Chigurh, Chigurh disappears and Moss takes his gun. Moss then drives to the border with the car, and presumably dumps them somewhere or leaves them in the car. Well, when Chigurh later kills Carson Welles, he has his gun back. How did he get it back? Did he find the car, if it was in there? Did he buy a new one?
Answer: It was a different gun. He kills Carson with a shotgun, while the gun Moss picks up is a silenced SMG by the looks of it.
