A simple plan ends terribly wrong

Rating: 8/10 (24 January 2004)

This is a movie brought to us by the Cohen brothers, who are the same people who brought us `The Big Lebowski.' It's a story that takes place in the winter setting of North Dakota, where a man comes up with a plan to get some quick cash. The basic idea is to hire some guys who will kidnap his wife and ask for a ransom. He will get the ransom money from his very wealthy father in law and split the money with the kidnappers. I am not going to spoil anything for anyone who hasn't seen this movie. I will just say that his `simple' plan goes terribly wrong and leaves a bunch of causalities.
o This movie seems pretty simple, but has allot of shocking moments that will add to the greatness of the movie. You have a great cast of characters that portray their roles well. There is a `simple' storyline that produces many thrills and chills, yet still keeps it flowing at the `simple' pace.

I was one out of a million people who had not seen this movie in full. Here it is seven years after it came out and if you haven't watched it, you should. Take a load off. It is a very good movie brought to us by very reliable storytellers.
Enjoy!
