Another perfect film from the Coen brothers. Although I am a huge fan of Raising Arizona, I have to say that this is truly their masterpiece. Each role is carefully crafted by the actors involved--Frances McDormand, William H Macy, Steve Buscemi, and the list goes on. Especially funny are the Northern-US speech patterns, which are believable and outrageous at the same time. Ya? Jerry Lundergaard is a loser, and his father-in-law never lets him forget it. When he envisions a scheme to help take his family out of debt and into the big time, he searches for a source of funding. After being denied money from his father-in-law, he decides he'll get money out of him anyway. He has his wife kidnapped, thinking that his father-in-law will pay the ransom and he'll be none the wiser. Well, as you can imagine, things don't go according to plan. People die in all sorts of strange and violent ways, but you can't help but be mesmerized by the picture. The characters, filming, and plot are painstakingly perfect in this dark comedy. One of the best movies ever made.Read full review
