disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (2 September 2009)

I love the Cohen Bros and the cast in this movie was unbeatable. My anticipation was great.
However, I was disappointed. The movie made no sense. At least other Cohen movies have a thread which can be followed. And I hated most of the characters. It was as if the actors all decided that they wanted to step out on the edge. That may have been fine for their acting joneses, but it was not enjoyable to me.
The only characters I liked were J. K. Simmons and Richard Jenkins. Pitt's character has some funny moments, but even McDormand's character seemed unsympathetic and ungenuine to me.
I would not recommend it to anyone, but I would not say don't watch it, either. Your tastes obviously might vary from mine.
