not a bad story but at the end American type of flick!

Rating: Null/10 (19 October 2005)

I suggest you should just check out the comments-board of the over-rated movies in IMDb's top 250 movies. Almost all the people who give a top ten vote for such over-rated movies are viewers from America and Canada(mostly). Here's another over-rated movie. When I read the disclaimer in the beginning of the movie "a true story" that "took place in Minnesota in 1987," I thought it would be a real good movie about life itself. And the gad served its purpose yes the disclaimer really set my mood up for the movie. But the more I saw what was inside this real story the better I got the picture "this is just a gag this is not a real story". It could have been a real story but still it would be an American type of thing actually.A car salesman with financial troubles who hires two men to kidnap his wife and try to obtain money, a psychologically unbalanced man who lies that he lost of his wife(leukiema9 then tries to reconnect himself with his high-school crush, a robotic killer who slashes his victims in a dead-pan face" I am not saying it can't be real I am not saying the story is too bad either but it is just an American type of thing and it would be superficial to give a top ten vote for the movie. Plus I couldn2t see a bit of great performance by Frances McDormand, who got the Academy Award for Best Actress. Even if it is a good performance not an Oscar-rated one.Oscars really suck then!
