Rating: 10/10 (17 May 2015)

A highly original neo-noir comedy, one the greatest feats by the brothers Coen. Great roles by all involved (even the tiniest, like the ones by Jack Kehler or David Thewlis), but of course Jeff Bridges and John Goodman steal the show. The story is simply a load of fun, but with great attention to detail, and with a perfect sense of humour. The soundtrack has no striking Carter Burwell theme this time (he only did that technopop thingy near the end), but it consists of various songs and themes, aptly chosen to befit the required mood; from classical to country or pop music and so on - I just discovered there's even a little bit played by the (Dutch) Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest.
Apparently, there are some folks even who dÃ³n't like this film, or just don't get it, but I certainly don't feel like the Good Lord gypped me, because sometime there's a film... sometimes there's a film - kinda lost my train of thought here... but, aw, hell...
11 out of 10.
