    that I liked characters like that in a suspenseful movie. As I was watching the movie‚ I thought back to what my brother told me. He was absolutely right about that guy. Anton Chigurh was the type of man that once he had his mind set on getting something‚ there was nothing stopping him. Anyone in his path‚ he killed.
