DVD Reviews of Fargo (Special Edition)

DVD Review: A good police's movie, in Fargo
Summary: 4 Stars

I watched this good movie, here in Brazil.This movie is about a crime, in an american city, called Fargo.The main actress, Frances McDormand, is excellent.Well done work.

DVD Review: Should've won best picture that year!
Summary: 5 Stars

I just bought this movie and watched it, and this was a very good movie. I believe this was nominated for best picture that year and lost it to "The English Patient", and I say that this movie should've won best picture that year. A really good movie!

DVD Review: One of the Great Films of All Time!
Summary: 5 Stars

Fargo is just amazing. It is a wonder to behold. Frances McDormand is a pregnant police officer investigating horrible murders in Brainerd, MN. Steve Bushcemi and William H. Macy are culprits in an elaborate kidnapping scheme gone wrong. The mood, attention to time and place and characterizations make this a film to remember. The Coen Brothers have slight ups and downs but they are some of the great filmmakers around today. This film is one of their best along with The Big Lebowski and No Country for Old Men.

DVD Review: Fargo
Summary: 5 Stars

A great film classic that we watch over and over again. Everyone should own one!

DVD Review: A clear and clever look
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought this on recommendations and I don't regret it. It was completely entertaining. Sure it's bloody and violent at times, which made me a little uncomfortable, but that is what they intended.

The midwest is white with snow. And a horrible kidnapping and murders take place. The redness of blood which appeared regularly was a sobering contrast to the powdery snow.

William H. Macy is excellent in his role of a husband who arranged a fake kidnapping, which goes sour. Frances McDormand is just wonderful as a pregnant cop on the case. And Steve Buscemi is great as a somewhat bumbling kidnapper.

Beautifully written and directed by Joel and Ethan Cohen, FARGO, in certain scenes, might make you very uncomfortable and soon afterwards you might find yourself laughing at a comedic scene. They execute this with great skill.

Description of Fargo (Special Edition)

Nominated* for seven Oscars(r) and winner of two, this darkly amusing thriller combines a first-rate cast, "a dazzling mix of mirth and malice" (Rolling Stone) and a bizarre kidnapping plot that unravels the Midwest like never before. Starring Frances McDormand, William H. Macy and Steve Buscemi, Fargo is a brilliant tour de force from the creators of Raising Arizonaand O Brother, Where Art Thou? *1996: Best Picture, Director, Actress (McDormand, won), Supporting Actor (Macy), Original Screenplay (won), Cinematography, Editing
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 Shannon
