Negative Positive
Title: One of the Coens' more cohesive and satisfying works
Review: Complain if you will about the accents and the happy-chirpy residents of Fargo and Brainerd, but then put that aside and enjoy the rest of the story.This is one of the Coen Brothers' better efforts, with a wonderful cast headed by William H. Macy and Frances McDormand. Peter Stormare is frightening as one of the kidnappers, and the always-watchable Steve Buscemi rounds it out.The storyline is engaging and not nearly as convoluted as the one in The Big Lebowski. It's also impressive that they managed to shoot with so much snow and wind going on. The only film of theirs that may be better than this one is No Country for Old Men.... Or possibly O Brother, where Art Thou? --but I have not seen that one in a while, so more comparisons will have to wait until I re-view it.
