An assault to the ears, eyes, and mind

Rating: 1/10 (18 June 2001)

I came to this movie a fan of the Coen Brothers, Jeff Bridges, and nearly all of the cast members of this film. I came to this movie expecting smart satire and cinematic invention. The first 30 minutes of this film offended me on every level possible! It is grotesque and perverse and sophomoric. I can't remember hating a film more. I never had the stomach to finish this disaster of a film, which is ugly to the eyes and the soul. Do yourself a favor and watch FARGO, or the equally incomparable O' BROTHER WHERE ART THOU.
