2010’s Top 10: Repeat Offenders in the Coen Bros. and Josh Brolin

Date:

7. Coen Bros. and Josh Brolin

Josh Brolin’s part probably took less than a week to shoot and compared to some rather strong, larger than life characters, this one is pint-sized, but all Coen Bros. films, characters stick out for all intended purposes, regardless of size and scope. Following his debut performance for them in 2007’s No Country for Old Men and the subtitles-friendly movie patron role in segment “World cinema” in the Cannes commissioned Chacun son CinemaTrue Grit asked Brolin to don the cowboy hat once more for the villain role of Tom Chaney. His introductory scene is just as yummy as the moment where he exits the film.
