My Review of far go

Rating: 10/10 (14 October 2005)

"Fargo" is one of those movies you watch a dozen times a month then forget about it for a few months. After the few months hiatus, you pop it in again and the whole movie is brand new again. The "True Story" Focuses Around Jerry Lundegaard, a loving husband who is down on his luck financially. Through a friend, Shep Proudfoot, he hires two mischief men to kidnap his wife. The father of the wife is real well off and it is Jerry's idea to exploit that. Jerry's plan is to have his wife's father pay the ransom of a million dollars for his wife, but Jerry would keep all the money except for 40 thousand which is going to the kidnappers. The plan goes wrong early in the movie and situations get more complex than they already are."Fargo" is my favorite Cohen brothers movie. The greatness of "Fargo" surpasses even "The Big Lebowski" in my book. I recommend everyone watch this movie even if you are not a Cohen Brothers fan. The great thing about the brothers movies is that even if you don't share their same sense of humor and don't laugh once, the movies they make still hold up with their great stories. But if you do share the same sense of humor, the comedy is just another layer of greatness. Fargo has everything; suspense, a good story, humor, brilliant acting and a score that accompanies the visuals perfectly.Steve Buscemi, and William H. Macy put out top-notch performances as usual. Out of my 200+ DVD collection, Fargo is one of my most watched (along side my Kubrick collection)
