The inspiration here is quite obvious, no?

Yeah, especially with not showing the final climax. What an ending.

They showed enough, No Country For Old Men just went to black completely.

True, but it was a minor similarity.

A lot, actually.... it feels like all of No Country For Old Men was told in a sort of an "eyeline match" and "shot/reverse shot"/ style, where we look at a character and then we look at what they're looking at. That happens alllllll the time in this movie. Couple that with how light it is on dialogue. The whole feel of this movie is No Country For Old Men.
