Joel and Ethan Coen make good movies, not great ones. Some are very good and others just pretty good, but none are masterpieces, and, consequently, FARGO is by no means the masterpiece it has been hailed as. I saw it for the first time on Cable...more

Capsule: This is a real winner of a crime film from the Coen Brothers. It has some violence, a little comedy, and a fair amount of realism in this story of the ever-widening chaos that results from...more
