Title: A Bloody Confection from the Coen Brothers
Review: Fargo is a wonderful piece of modern crime film making. The script is clever, suspenseful, violent and very, very funny. It's greater success hinges on the cast and the wonderful performances. Without this cast, it could have become a very different film. Not enough can be said about the perfection that is McDormand in this film. Her potrayal of Margie G., police woman and midwest pregnant housewife is a revelation. While she actually has les screen time than some of the others, she creates a character that will forever be remembered in American cinema. A true triumph. William H. Macy - who also deserved an Oscar- is a stressed-out, comically twitching raw nerve. Just superb. Buscemi and Stormare are the perfect dopey villains and Presnell as Macy's father-in-law might be the most villainous of all.Beautifully filmed and acted, it is a true gift to the audience from the Coen brothers and deserved all its acclaim and more.
