Outstanding

Rating: Null/10 (6 March 2000)

This movie is a masterpiece, the Coen brothers are at their best here. Movie purists might argue that the film lacks a coherent plot but the fact that the film succeeds without one is precisely what makes it so entertaining. Jeff Bridges as the 'Dude' reveals a comedic and indeed an acting talent I never knew he had, not to be overlooked a standout performances by John Goodman, John Torturro and Julianne Moore to name a few. The dialogue of the film is fast paced and witty with some acid induced dream sequences. As stated earlier, the plot is incomprehensible but how many Coen brother movies are'nt. The soundtrack reminds you that music can add to the plot and movement of events and you are unlikely to ever come across a more unfortunate protagonist than 'the dude'. I recommend this film to anyone, I emphatically stick two thumbs up.
