Not the best Coen brothers ever, but still enjoyable

Rating: 7/10 (27 December 2017)

The Coen brothers transcend genre, from noir to thriller to dark comedy, they can nail it. But I particularly enjoy their takes on farce (especially when George Clooney is involved). This movie is not perfect, but I laughed out loud throughout, particularly when everyone embraced the silliness of the story as part of the whole point. It may not be the Coen brothers' best ever, but it doesn't have to be to be enjoyable.
