He stole that money, so God punished him.

His greed doomed him

The moment he took the money was the moment he became prey for a better hunter. He stood a chance, but just wasn't strong or cunning enough to be the apex predator.

If he didn't go back in his fucking keep he'd have been fine but he was a moron

Also. Shit film

nah there was still a tracking device in the money even if he didn't go back

I think that even if he found the tracker early and didn't return to the deal site, Chigurh or the Mexicans would have still found him.
They'd just ask around, learn about the Vietnam Vet who likes to hunt in the area and that would seal his fate.
His only chance was to GTFO the town ASAP, leaving his wife and family behind at the mercy of the cartel but as Carson said "he didn't got what it takes".

In reality he would have gotten away, but because it's a Cormac Mcarthy novel he was doomed.

That's pretty much how I understood it. If he wouldn't have been greedy, and just went home after the first run, he would have been fine.

the moment he went full retard was when he sat in front of the door holding the rifle. had shigur shot the doorknob with a shotgun he'd be dead on the spot.
if you think somebody might burst into your room is it really so fucking difficult hiding next to the door and not right in front of it?

That was dumb as fuck. Why would he give a shit about some bean on the verge of death. And why would he risk going there in the middle of the night.

He could have survived if he had taken out the tracker, maybe kill the agua guy for good measure.

Didn't he technically get away? He gave the money to his girlfriend and she was fine.

Someone post the shirtless shota from the ending

Isn't it implied that Chigurh kills her at the end? He goes to her house and when we see him leave he checks his shoes for blood.

For one dude who had no idea what he was getting into, he honestly fared pretty decently. The only reason the Mexicans got back on his trail was because of his mother-in-law's bitching and he almost managed to take out Sugar.

The novel makes it clearer that Chiguhr got the money. And cowboy was dead. But still he had to go find the bitch to keep his word to cowboy.


The bitch didn't want to "play games" with Chiguhr, but she would have had at least a 50% chance of living.

Because it is funny in a cosmic sense or tragedy sense that you doom yourself through an act of pity and kindness. Give a dying man some water, get killed.

In the novel it is clear his wife was 16 when they met, and he almost escapes with a 15 year old blonde runaway at the end.

he was doomed because he had family

He wasn’t gonna cheat

But greed was taking the money in the first place, compassion is going back out to give water to somebody who was probably already dead. If anything it's Llewellyn's conscience that seals his fate

theres some foreshadowing that hes not gonna make it when he misses the first shot of the movie

he wouldve been fine if he just take some of the money and not the whole bag

She clearly died in both the book and movie.

why was chigurh chasing him again? how did he learn about the money? he was already arrested when they introduced him.

the cartel hired him, but he decided to take the money for himself

Literally all he had to do was take the money, run back, grab his wife, and be on a plane to the other side of the world within 24 hours.

Why is this shit movie so popular?

In the book Chigurh gets himself arrested on purpose just for the challenge of escaping. This is where we meet him in the film. Not kidding

Obviously, he wasn't thinking with clarity, and I doubt you would be if you knew some force of nature psycho killer was after you. He was trying to make as little noise as possible. All things considered, he did pretty good against Chigurh in that confrontation
