The ending was way "literary", like McCarthy; all the foregoing had been filmic.

The two did not jibe well. Perhaps Bergman could have pulled it off?
Otherwise I and my companions were tightly gripped.
The evil in Chigurh, and the path it follows, far outstrips that of any orc or Grendel in any FX extravaganza; the more human its incarnation, the scarier evil be. Take that as a rule, directors!
Here's a passage from the L.A. Times I stumbled across:
An intense, nihilistic thriller as well as a model of implacable storytelling, this is a film you can't stop watching even though you might very much wish you could. That's because "No Country" escorts you through a world so pitilessly bleak, "you put your soul at hazard," as one character says, to be part of it.
Sez it for me.
