What more is there?

Rating: 8/10 (7 May 2008)

Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) hires two goons, Carl Showalter (Steve Bucemi) and Gaear Grimsrud (Peter Stormare) to stage a kidnapping of his wife in order to steal a heap of money from his rich father in law Wade Gustafson (Harve Presnell). After the things get a bloody twist in a shape of a dead highway officer, officer Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand) begins to unravel the case. And this is where I have to stop talking about the plot, as it would really ruin the film.
Frances McDormand does a stellar job as Marge, who is trying to understand the case and is in a place in her own life, that has made her to wonder where it all will lead. She's a head of her own police department, pregnant and steadily married, but still she seems to wonder, if there might be something else out there. It's hard to say a bad thing about the rest of the cast either. Coens have done a great job in gathering a great cast and the film flows along withing its own logic, and never breaks it. The illusion stays intact to the end and you never question, at lest during watching the movie, why things go the way they go.
