...ropes Howard, meanwhile, was losing his punch. In October, he abruptly announced that he would hold a referendum on amending the Constitution to recognize Aboriginal people. It was his "generation" that had prevented his seeing the need for this sooner, he said. He talked more about climate change and went ahead with preparations for a carbon emissions trading scheme. He said future and plan more often. He started wearing a more stylish tracksuit on his morning walks.

Like any McCarthy novel, in the battle between good and evil, evil always has a leg up. With a pressurized cattle gun used to punch out equal parts of deadbolts and human gray matter, Bardem’s brand of evil has two legs and an arm up. The film belongs to Bardem, a Hollywood unknown, and given his superhuman portrayal, it is doubtful he will remain unknown for much longer. A short list...
