Mediocre

Rating: 5/10 (19 January 1999)

I looked forward to seeing Fargo as I heard many great things about it. As I usually am, though, I was disappointed. I just never really understood what was so special about this movie. The acting was good and very believable. The setting was believable as was the portrayal of the local people, but let's be honest, do acting and setting really make a movie great? The problem lies in the script, which just isn't very good. I found nothing at all unique about "Fargo." It's just extremely mediocre. I give it a five out of ten.
