A Crime Drama Done Right

Rating: 9/10 (9 August 2013)

The Coen brothers really deliver this time with Fargo, a murder story with quirky overtones and a flawless script that really sells the character interaction in an otherworld reality of sorts. Don't write the acting off for no 'big names', the actors all play their roles to perfection and sell the script with their excellent delivery of at times almost comical lines that still fit in with the dark drama atmosphere which gives it an undeniable creep factor. Stripped down Fargo is still a crime drama but it is one done right. With stellar acting and a script to match it adds a quirky creep to the dark story. Everything fits together in a world unfamiliar yet normal in this homespun murder story.
