DVD Reviews of Fargo [Region 2]
DVD Review: Very Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
This was the worst movie I've ever seen!!! Every other word in this film was a cuss word. The murders were extremely brutal and graphic. There wasn't much of a plot and it was extremely boring. It depicts all the people from Minnesota as weird. The worst part was, I ordered a book off of a Christian category and this movie popped up as being recommended. There was absolutely no correlation between the two. My husband and I watched it one night while our children were gone. Thank goodness. We would have turned it off if they had been watching. I will be throwing this movie away. I wouldn't even give it to anyone.DVD Review: Fargo - The Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I was a latecomer to this movie, but late or not, the movie, though a little aged by 2008, is still a great action-drama. I finally purchased this movie for my partner, it being in her all-time top 20, though perhaps not in mine.DVD Review: Who said crime was not fun?
Summary: 5 Stars
Take a sordid crime story, but something really bleak, gross, more than anything you can think of as trashy, disgusting, sickening, etc and entrust the story to the Coen Brothers to make it a comic thriller and you might get some kind of funny, humorous and hilarious film with blood everywhere, victims everywhere, one million dollars playing hooky in some snow landscape, a pregnant sheriff that is loaded to the very brim and is still smiling and going though not running. And mind you they do not miss one detail. Neither the shot through the top of the skull and the blood geyser out of it. Nor the body in the wood chipper with one foot with its sock still on sticking out. Nor the meal of the sheriff: she is obviously expecting quintuplets, even maybe two sets of quintuplets. And the sheriff's husband is a painter: he paints stamps for the post office, I guess among other great projects. You will learn that DLR means Dealer. That's important. And what else? So much that you would get dizzy if I started quoting them all and you would have no surprise. And it is a true story. Crime for the dummies, I guess, crime made easy and pleasurable. A great moment of fun.

DVD Review: One of the Coens' more cohesive and satisfying works
Summary: 5 Stars
Complain if you will about the accents and the happy-chirpy residents of Fargo and Brainerd, but then put that aside and enjoy the rest of the story.
This is one of the Coen Brothers' better efforts, with a wonderful cast headed by William H. Macy and Frances McDormand. Peter Stormare is frightening as one of the kidnappers, and the always-watchable Steve Buscemi rounds it out.
The storyline is engaging and not nearly as convoluted as the one in The Big Lebowski. It's also impressive that they managed to shoot with so much snow and wind going on. The only film of theirs that may be better than this one is No Country for Old Men.... Or possibly O Brother, where Art Thou? --but I have not seen that one in a while, so more comparisons will have to wait until I re-view it.
DVD Review: Fargo
Summary: 2 Stars
A story about dim-witted criminals and the cop pursuing them through Minnesota in the dead of winter. That's the gist of the entire story. It was only "OK" in my book. Not a movie I will watch weekly, but good enough to watch again, someday.
Description of Fargo [Region 2]
Leave it to the wildly inventive Coen brothers (Joel directs, Ethan produces, they both write) to concoct a fiendishly clever kidnap caper that's simultaneously a comedy of errors, a Midwestern satire, a taut suspense thriller, and a violent tale of criminal misfortune. It all begins when a hapless car salesman (played to perfection by William H. Macy) ineptly orchestrates the kidnapping of his own wife. The plan goes horribly awry in the hands of bumbling bad guys Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare (one of them being described by a local girl as "kinda funny lookin'" and "not circumcised"), and the pregnant sheriff of Brainerd, Minnesota, (played exquisitely by Frances McDormand in an Oscar-winning role) is suddenly faced with a case of multiple murders. Her investigation is laced with offbeat observations about life in the rural hinterland of Minnesota and North Dakota, and Fargo embraces its local yokels with affectionate humor. At times shocking and hilarious, Fargo is utterly unique and distinctly American, bearing the unmistakable stamp of its inspired creators. --Jeff ShannonThrillers DVDs
