The Coen's strike gold again!!!!! yah......

Rating: 8/10 (21 July 2002)

this film is well worthy of its seven Oscar Nominations, this is a bizzare film, in the fact that its quite hilarious when it really shouldn't be.
Jerry Lundergaard ( William H Macy ) is a struggling car salesman in the Midwest, and when debts are mounting he has a masterplan..... he hires two thugs ( Steve Buscemi )and ( Peter Stormare ) to kidnap his wife, in an attempt to collect a big ransom pay off from her rich father, according to Jerry, " nobody's gonna' get hurt" ...until people start dying that is. The 'hero' of this film is Marge Gunderson ( Frances McDormand ) a pregnant police officer, who will indeed get her man. The weird Scandinavian Surnames, and bizzare lingo( is this true to Minnesotan life??? ) only add to this catchy black-comedy.
Some of the things that happen are sickening yet very funny, this is one 'helluva movie ...you betcha' yah......
