Spoof on spoof, spoof spoof.

Rating: 9/10 (19 October 2008)

Owing to a problem with the cinema's ticket machine I didn't see the first few minutes of the film, but that doesn't matter so much. The best thing about this movie is that you cannot predict what will happen next. There are twists and turns aplenty, and many comic moments. It's not a comedy, but rather like The Color Purple, some dark issues that when acted out strike one as extremely funny. Gallows humour, as we otherwise know it, challenging the best from post room jokes and the like. The actors...all without exception... perform beautifully in their respective roles. How could any other actor replace them. The Coens are masters of their trade and this is another superb example from this virtuoso trio (yes I said trio).
