This dark, confident little thriller feels very Coen-brothers-like, but has enough ideas to stand alone. Basically the story of one man trying to support his ill wife by passing off a dead body as his brothers', and claiming the insurance policy, there are just enough sweet, funny and nasty surprises to keep you hooked. Not a classic, but great fun.
This is one of those films that slips off the radar, it is brilliant. It does live up to its comparison with Fargo, but is equally good if not better. Robin Williams plays the lead in a fantastic understated way that really has you rooting for him. A good ensemble piece with great contributions from all involved. Dont know why it has not had more press, it certainly deserves a higher profile, watch it now! If you liked the slow pace of Fargo you will love this dvd.
not what i was expecting,dissappointed with this one. maybe it's just me or the story was not what i expected.not one to watch with the kids.
