Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
This has to be the very WORST type of movie .. ridiculous slapstick .. It's full of actors playing real dumb idiots .. but the idiots they are portraying are actually like the typical real American .. and yes I know a lot of Americans. It was so bad I actually stayed watching it to try to see where the good ratings came from ,, reaching the end without a clue. The only possibility is that the only people rating this film were all Americans.
This film is well threaded and not many flaws are showing. Colourful characters fill the story that goes from a bad idea to worse. Greed and psychopathy do not mix well. Spellbinding!
This slow-paced movie is really surprising in the way that it put an effort to show how things can go wrong when stupid, unexperienced people are tumbling in crime world. I loved how Cohen brothers unraveled a very well written plot that lead to an unsurprising end but close to how it ends in real life when these misdeeds are committed. One of the other feeling that transmit this movie is that everything that is happening looks so normal that it creates a strange atmosphere, burlesque, almost stupid, that makes the movie really funny to watch. So if you add all those things together plus a really good casting and filmmaking you've got a must see movie !!
Cohen dark, very dark humor in addition to the cast, Frances McDormand heading this thriller that you want to watch several times. One of those films where you obviously see the end coming but, how?
