That's left for the viewer to decide. Did she win the coin flip? Did she even make a call?

You not only replaced "You" with "U" in the topic title but you also got the movie's name wrong....whatever.

Anyway, if you didn't know it is based on a book by Cormac McCarthy one of my favorite authors. One of the books main themes is chance and luck, there is no logic really to the life-deciding cointoss because the world doesn't make sense anymore. The sheriff is a good guy, and he is a good detective too but when faced when such an abomination that would kill based on a 50/50 chance, he is confused and lost.

Life doesn't always make sense is basically what I derived from the film

Thus, there is no country for old men like the sheriff

[spoiler] This was a great movie and if you want to know what this movie meant, just read the title. It makes sense, the chief was getting older and with this type of situation that involved this hit man, he could not solve the case nor he couldn't even get close enough to the actually vilian to stop him from creating all this chaos. So hence no country for old men. Time basically passed Tommy Lee Jones and he was no longer able to deal with the type of situations that were happening around his town as the culture changed. Thats why he retired and the bad guy got away. [/spoiler]

He didn't think of himself as a killer. He thought of himself more like an administer of fate.

Yeah, but he didn't pick his character, his writer did. And they made him a killer. You think "Death" doesn't think of himself as a killer? Just fate's tool?

but the character didnt think of himself as a mindless killer, he killed only those who interfered with his "mission" and for some he would let fate decide whether they lived or died.

yes, and he viewed it as a job and nothing else, and people who interfered with him doing this job or made it tough he would kill. Like Woody Harrelsons character says, even if you give him the lost money he will still kill you for making getting the money an inconvenience to him.

In no way was Assassination or There will be Blood better than No Country... Assassination and Blood each had almost no plot and bored me to tears(though the acting and cinematography was brilliant in both films)

he didnt kill her because he just wanted to, he did it because he made a promise to Moss that he would. We view it as crazy but its different to him.

which made him such a great villian, a killer with his own set of principles, always follows up with his promises and kills those who interfere with is job. He doesnt even see what he does as cold blooded murder because to him it only right, they got in the way of his mission.

Both were superior. Particularly There Will Be Blood. Everything about There Will Be Blood was near perfect.

It has no ending. It's a technique referred to as the "Lady or the Tiger" approach, from an old classic short story that also HAD NO ENDING. It doesn't work, the movie was not all it was hyped up to be.

Well, I can handle non-endings. There's this Johnny Depp movie that technically doesn't have an ending, but I really like it. The Ninth Gate. My friend hates me for saying it was good because it "didn't end" in his opinion.

Saw it. It was good, but didn't deserve Best Picture, IMHO.
