"Fargo" is highly overrated

Rating: 2/10 (13 March 1999)

"Fargo" is probably the most overrated movie made this half-century. The plot and dialogue are weak, the accents are phony, and the characters, including the kidnapping victim, are unsympathetic. The Mike Yamagita subplot has no connection whatever with the main storyline. If this film represents our society's sense of humor or our understanding of realism, we are in deep trouble.
