    Cinematic Gold for the Coens

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 21, 2006

    Pros: Quirky, Dark, Excellent

    Cons: n/a

    Along with "Lebowski", this is the film people think of when they hear "the Coen brothers". Fargo is a fantastic tale of a kidnapping gone wrong, and the sad, regular people involved. Everyone in this movie is great (Bill Macy is ...so good he will never be anyone but Jerry Lundegaard in my eyes) the story is fast-paced, complicated, and full of surprises. If you haven't seen this movie, you probably aren't into art films, but this is a fantastic introduction. "Fargo" was one of the pivotal movies that got me really into film. Fantastic must-see, an art film to should appeal to all. Read more Less

    Pros: The cast...the setting...everything!

    Cons: none

    One of my favorite movies if not my favorite movie! So witty, and still not weird. Makes you feel like you're watchings someones real life and not a movie. Regular folks portrayed in a great way!

    I have to tell you, this movie was excellent. I loved it. I wish it won the 1996 best picture award. It was a very violent movie. Especially the near-end, but I don't want to spoil it for you. Just watch this movie. You won't regret it.

    (Another) Woman Saves World From Men

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 17, 2002

    So what else is new from Hollywood?!? Overrated beyond description --- but, well cast. Idiot savant police chiefette is ludicrous --- other leads shine in a bloodbath of a ragged script from hell.

    When car salesman Jerry Lundergard finds himself in financial trouble, due to illegal activities, the solution seems simple. Hire a couple of thugs to kidnap his wife, Jean, get her wealthy father to pay a hefty ransom, and keep half the money for h...imself. But a few dead bodies, one burnt umber Sierra, and $80,000 later, Jerry is begninning to see things differently. This cinematic masterpiece is the award-winning brainchild of brothers, Joel and Ethan Coen. Their script is unbelievably dark and witty. The filming techniques are brilliant, if not haunting, at times. And the music is powerful. But the best thing by far that this movie has to offer, Frances McDormand. She completely blows the rest of the cast (although terrific) out of the water. If you want to take a good look at the darker side of human nature (and laugh while you're doing it) than this is the movie for you! Read more Less

    Extra dark but extra good

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 10, 2001

    This movie has it all, which makes it a MUST see. Good acting/directing/plot (fake)/flawless. The only thing that bugged me was the stupid accents. I'm from MN and no one talks like that. See it
