The Coens most iconic classic.

Rating: Null/10 (16 January 2016)

Fargo,North Dakota isn't high on many's bucket list. But if you want to see this city turn into the setting for one of the most original and creative crime stories ever told, then sign up for this adventure from Joel and Ethan Coen. This original tale delivers plenty of laughs and lots of shocks. In an act of financial desperation, car salesman Jerry Lundegaard (William H.Macy) hires two boozy criminals to kidnap his wife so that he may split his wealthy father-in-law's ransom with them. However, everything falls apart due to the work of very pregnant cop Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand) and poorly covered tracks. The characters laced with heavy Midwest accents all bring smiles to our faces no matter how evil or stupid they appear. Steve Buscemi, Frances McDorman and Willia H.Macy deliver one of a kind performances that are all memorable from the start. The Coens have crafted a story here with superb dialogue and wonderful wit that only the bright-minded and creative will appreciate, and this will go down as a classic fro generations to come.
