A very realistic must see movie!

Rating: Null/10 (5 December 2000)

Fargo is a film unlike most films I have seen in my lifetime. Its level of detail and realism makes the film stand out. The criminals in this movie do an excellent job playing their parts. They are the kind of criminal you see in a variety of movies, the ones who blunder because of their own stupidity, but unlike a lot of other movies I have seen, the actors in Fargo make their ignorance seem so real. Steve Buscemi (Carl Showalter) and Peter Stormare (Gaear Grimsrud) do an excellent job of making their roles believable ones. Sometimes I just wanted to burst out laughing but refrained from doing so because of the content of the scenes. At the end of this film you'll be asking yourself, `Was this really based on a true story?' This film is referred to as a black comedy, meaning that what makes the film funny is the way the gruesome scenes are handled in the film. Overall I'd really recommend this film, unless you have a strong distaste for violence. There is never a slow scene in the entire film; you'll have your eyes glued to the screen the entire time wondering what is going to happen next. The ending is very ironic, and it's something you'll pick up on immediately when you see it. A very well done and must see movie!
