Fargo (1996) - Personal Matters! You Betcha!

Rating: 10/10 (4 August 2011)

The Coen Brothers have brought us another story filled with blood and guts. "Fargo" is the story of a deal gone wrong involving cops, money, and an unexpected triple homicide. Now this movie is like a two-part plot involving two different stories, and both reaches together to make one full story. Joel Coen and Ethan Coen has created a script, that only they can write. They really know how to make the 'dark and bloody', and help hide it with some drama, and some comedy. Also, the well-provided cast of Frances McDormand, William H. Macy, Steve Buscemi, Harve Pressnell, and Peter Stormare is one of the best casting ensembles I have ever seen on film. But it was McDormand that took the screen away with her excellent performance as a pregnant cop, undercover of the triple homicide. Every single moment with McDormand made me laugh, and she really is a great actress. Everything about the Coen Brothers and how they make movies is just so unique. They know how to create memorable characters, quirky dialouge, dark qualities, and fresh laugh-out-loud one-liners. The dark comedy is top-notch, the well-written script is exhilarating, and a mix of Coen Brothers dark magic is all that's needed to create one of the most incredible dark movies ever. "Fargo", in my review, "a wicked and thrilling motion picture, the Coens at their finest".
