You've Been Duped !!

Rating: Null/10 (20 January 2008)

Wouldn't it be funny if the Coen brothers primary objective was not to make a work of art but rather, a social experiment.
Create a superbly crafted film based mainly on graphic violence and see what the public reaction is -- sort of a litmus test to shine a light on our collective mental health. Possibly a way to understand the limits of our fixation on violence.
The Coens are just brilliant enough to possibly pull-off something like this.
And judging from the orgasmic praise this movie has received from the intelligista, it seems we might be in deep trouble.
