Proof that "it's all been done before" still ain't true.

Rating: 8/10 (1 October 2008)

Okay, so maybe this film is really just another edgy thriller with a twist, except that it's not. It's just like every other movie and yet somehow not like any I've ever seen before. All I can say without tainting your experience is that this movie is exactly the same and nothing like any movie you've ever seen before. A true masterpiece of standard form, and a good representation of how personality and your own personal touch can really change the same old into something brilliant. With an all-star cast playing characters they're not used to, the Cohen brothers tell yet another "standard" in a way that makes you want to go back and dig up their oldies.
