"I love you too Margie:" !!

Rating: Null/10 (29 October 2008)

The movie is funny without trying to be funny. Steve Buscemi,as Carl is the penultimate loser among losers.He is the Laurel and the Iceman is the ultimate Hardy. The humor is in the way the talk comes across like Margie interviewing the two hookers, the cop who was called out by the guy shoveling the snow and the dialog between Carl and the iceman badguy. The few who stand out are Margie and Jerry. Now Jerry(William H. Macy,)is sometimes not convincing (very superficial) in some of the Ransom scenes with his father-in-law but he is a great actor.The humor conceals some of the brutal (supposedly real story that happeneed in Minnesota in 1997)enactments of what happened. The movie is riveting as all good movies are. Even the last few scenes where this petite and pregnant Sheriff has this monster behind barbed wires, are funny and then normnan and Margie cozy up- when he says for the final time "I love you Margie" it does't sound so mechanical as Norman had said few times before.
