Cohen brothers do it again

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2016)

This is quite simply a masterpiece and the Cohen Brothers finest work. Outstanding performances and nice cameo roles. This is a great film for someone who appreciates good cinema and not your run of the mill high budget Hollywood nonsense. The music is probably the best I've heard in a feature film for a long time. I highly recommend this film for fans who appreciate real cinema. A slow burner but instantly has a Cohen Brothers feel to the movie. I'm guessing the Oscars snub for this film for best actor was because the lead was not very likable and not a very nice guy I guess and the Oscar panel like to play it safe and unless you are an American hero you won't be nominated. In my eyes Oscar Issac had produced the performance of his life and should be very proud of his achievement as so the Cohen brothers.
