Plot Irrelevance

Rating: 6/10 (9 March 1999)

There is a segment in Fargo where the female police officer meets an old Asian friend from high school. The segment is wholly irrelevant to the plot, and does nothing to advance character. Around this dubious moment are slices of violence, sex and profanity, peppering a one-note story.
While nicely acted and shot, this indulgent excuse for entertainment must surely stand as one of the most over-rated of modern cinema.
