Typical Coen!

Rating: Null/10 (15 November 2008)

It may not be Snatch, but it has similar elements such as everyone's plots intertwined with each other, and lots of funny dialogue. Definitely not a movie to be taken seriously, which is sad when so many people try to scrutinize it for accuracy and realism. The star studded cast is greatly important as they all act quirky and especially George Clooney, who I used to dislike because of his constant smug demeanor (I used to label him a one trick pony, or a prettyboy), but I'm really liking his new acting style and he is proving his versatility.
The score is absolutely brilliant, and contributes immensely to the film.
Definitely enjoyable if one is a fan of the Coens, there are a few fantastic laugh out loud scenes that make re-viewing a necessity.
