                                                Free to kill

            The movie no country for old men is a thriller in where the killer Chigurh who is a hitman runs through everyone that gets in his way by killing them. The killer Chigurh is trying to retrieve that has drug money in it. In the movie shooter the main character Bob Lee Swagger gets framed for killing the bishop of Africa. So through out the movie he is trying to prove his innocence. By doing so though he has to kill many people that get in his way. In both these movies the main character is a killer with no regard of the people they kill.
            In both these movies the killers cure themselves in the same way. When Bob lee swagger gets shot by a crooked cop in the chest and the thigh he has to cure his own wounds because he cannot go to a hospital for everyone is looking for him. So there for he has to figure a way to get the material needed for him to make him an iv. He cuts the power from a convenient store so the lady at the register won’t recognize his face. He then bus sugar, salt, water, and a marinating needle. He uses this as an iv to help him stay alive.
            In no country for old men the killer Chigurh also has to cure for his that he recives from the guy he  is chasing named Llewelyn bell. They broke out in a gunfight and bell shoots Chigurh in the leg with a shotgun, so Chigurh is left to take care of his wounds. Just like Bob Lee swagger in Shooter he can not be seen for he is a killer. Chigurh goes to a Mike Zoss pharmacy but before he goes in the lights his shirt on fire and sticks it in a gas tank of a car that is just outside the store. The car blows up distracting everyone in the store now he is free to roam around the store and get what he need to cure his wounds.
            Chigurh was looking for the money and is used to getting what he wants fairly easy but what he ends up getting is a fight with bell. But the army vet that he is and the hit man he prevails in the end by killing bell and his wife. He gets away with both murders unsaved and with the sheriff in town not even having a lead on him. Bob lee swagger also runs into a lot of trouble in his path to prove his innocence over killing the bishop of Africa. He has to kill secret agents and eventually gets proof of his innocence when he shows the people in the trial when he gets an appeal that his guns do not shot. Every time he is done with his guns he makes it to where they do not fire, but Bob still has a problem the people who framed him are still out there and will for sure come after him once again. So he sneaks up to the cabin where all the speial agents are and shoots them dead then blows up the place by releasing the gas from the stove making it look like a natural fire.
            Chigurh in no Country for old men is very knowledge in how to kill and how to stay alive. He puts all of these tributes into affect when he is a hit man out in the streets. He is very good at what he does and this is why he doesn’t get caught or killed. Bob lee swagger is in the movie is a retired us marine gunnery sergeant who served as a recon scout sniper. While in opne of his missions and undercover one he and his partner the spotter get into some gun fire in the end his partner gets shot down and killed by a chopper. This is how bob can kill so many people and survive while many agent’s are after him and even when he gets shot and is able to stsy alive.
In the end both killers get away with all the murders that they vomited while running around one trying to retrieve the suitcase full of drug money and the other trying to prove his innocence of a murdered that he did not commit. They both took out whoever stood in their ways and got away with it free as anyone of us. They are trained to kill and adapted to survive no matter what position they are put in. my hat goes off to both men for I could never do what they can. I cant even kill or stay alive on call of duty so to you bob and chigurh.

  1. Llewelyn's last name is not Bell, it is Moss. Bell is the name of the Cop. You refer to him as Bell throughy your whole paper and you should be refering to him as Moss instead.

    I think the thesis should be re-written. It doesn't seem to sound persuasive enough.
    Your Thesis has to be like an arguement, but this seems more informative rather than persuasive. You will need to make this a persuasive paper rather than informing us of these characters.
