Fargo: The story of a crime gone bad and a movie gone worse

Rating: Null/10 (14 April 1999)

Perhaps I am just one of those people who just "doesn't get" Fargo, but if this is so, I am one of the happiest movie fans in the country. Watching this movie was like having pins shoved into my eyes. Watching William H. Macy arrange a crime with Steve Buscemi was unrealistic and boring. And while some people may have felt that the intentional use of a northern accent was funny, I found it to be extremely annoying. The only amusing part of Fargo was the last scene on the shores of the frozen lake, which was at least original. To anyone considering seeing Fargo for the first time, I say "stay away, stay very far away".
