Not close to copper!

Rating: 1/10 (1 January 2008)

No spoilers here Until the last half hour this looked like possibly one of the greatest films ever made. Then, the storm came and washed that idea away for me. I understood the symbolism of evil and all. But, for a movie that tried to be realistic, it failed to do so. For one thing it had some under qualified rambling sheriff played by Jones chasing the antagonist he barley tried, gave up fast, and mostly sipped on coffee. The psycho killed several along his journey and yet no one contacted the FBI which is protocol for escaped serial killers.
We get it Coen's; old people don't get it and neither should you... bleh!
The antagonist/ protagonist was chasing this hunter that found a bunch of money next to some dead bodies. They never explain how he knows about the money in the first place or (aside for one instance), how he finds people so easily but yet he just magically does. Next, Woody enters the movie for apparently no reason and while doing a great job at it he had a totally pointless role. You'll probably join the herds of others that liked this because that's what people do these days, they accept crap and smile at it as though it's gold. This doesn't come close to copper! P.S. I didn't like Fargo either
