Not quite Fargo (6/10)

Rating: 6/10 (4 November 1999)

Nice film, good moments. But I didn't like Jeff Bridges' acting as the Dude. In fact this may just be a Bridges family thing as I don't like any of their stuff (a bit like the McGann brothers in England - all too obvious and not great actors).
However, the film starts off nicely and you feel you are going to get engrossed in a plot or a few plots. Midway through however, reality dawns and you realise a lot of the threads are left unexplored and the ending is very anti-climatic. A complete opposite to Fargo. Great acting by Goodman and Buscemi.
