Wicked little movie.

Rating: 10/10 (16 February 2000)

Wicked little movie. Part satire, part comedy, part suspense, part drama, yes, "Fargo" does have it all.
Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare, who later appeared in 1998's "Armageddon," steal the show as two bumbling crooks who rendezvous with everything from a hyper hostage to an angry boss. William H. Macy stands out as well, as a frazzled car salesman. Frances McDormand deserved her Oscar.
"Fargo," in addition to being well-acted, also oozes with style. Yes, small-town movies with a snowy backdrop are usually great.
Finally, the script is near perfect. It has some hilarious lines, strangely lovable characters, and preposterous situations that somehow seem ... real.
That's the beauty of "Fargo". It will steal your heart (and possibly your wallet) while making you contradict yourself the whole time.
FARGO: ***** (out of Five)
