Since this thread was re-upped (and ironically I just watched this movie the other day), I'll ask you all: What is your opinion(s) on that scene where Bell goes back to the hotel after Llewelyn has been murdered? You know where he's standing outside the door, and then they cut to Anton, who is supposedly inside,waiting and then when Bell goes in to check things out...he's not there. I've read so many theories on this scene over the years. Some people think it's an out of sequence shot or Anton is in another room. Some people think Anton was in the room behind the door (which Bell did not check like a seasoned officer should) and he exited when Bell went into the bathroom. Some people think Anton caught Bell (off camera) and gave him the coin toss which Bell won. Some people even think Bell and Anton Chigurh are one in the same. So many theories. It makes you think but I guess that's what the scene is supposed to do. What do you all think about it?
EDIT - This scene:
