This film did very little for me

Rating: Null/10 (5 March 2000)

I expected to see oscar caliber performances when I saw this film but I was wrong. I did see a film that didn't really go anywhere.
There was no suspense or nobody to feel sorry for. Having said this, I must say there were isolated performances I liked from Steve Buscemi and Frances McDormarnd.
McDormand's performance as a pregnant sheriff was terrific. I have to hand the credit to the Coen Brothers for a wonderful film; however, they were let down by most of their cast.
Furthermore, the plot of this film seemed to go around the block because when something worthwhile happened it seemed to end up at a point where it was awful. The ending of the film was a little off-kilter because it seemed that it was forced to end that way.
With the talented cast and oscars "Fargo" got, it really should have been better. I can't believe how the film turned out.
