Umm, a conclusion would be nice

Rating: 4/10 (25 November 2007)

Too many loose ends ruined what would otherwise have been good work. Note that I am normally a Coen brothers fan, but I'll have to go back to "Raising Arizona" to see them at their best.
There's a lot in the film that was good: suspense level incredible, action more than sufficient, photography and mood great, especially the desert scenes, dialogue like we expect from the Coens, great acting from all, even Tommy Lee Jones in his essentially useless role.
But, a story without a solid conclusion, especially a story as emotionally gripping as this one, isn't box-office ready. You'll feel let down like I did, and like thousands of others did. Thank God I only paid matinée admission.
