Very Funny Black Comedy - A Coen Brothers Tour de Force

Rating: 8/10 (10 November 2008)

The movie follows an unlikely scenario where a data file is discovered on the floor of a gym which is then used by staff members to attempt to extort money.
This film is very 'Fargo' like with the funniest moments being the most gruesome. There is definitely a shock factor when a surreal plot in a contemporary environment suddenly shows violent acts such as the Brad Pitt punch on the nose.
I loved this film and found it very funny but I laughed out loud during Fargo as well so I guess I'm just a sucker for well made, well acted black comedies.
I recommend it highly and I have been surprised to read that some people did'nt find it a real belly laugh - takes all sorts I guess....
