This is definitely a Coen bros. film.
Yay! Popped your Fargo cherry..!!!
Yep one of the best slowburners I've ever seen...
So rich in almost every aspect.
I bet you'll never look at a woodchipper the same way again.

Glad you liked it...! What did the Missus think...?
I just watched the Coen's version of "True Grit" too..... loved it.
People used to say that American version of "Trainspotting" was subtitled for international markets on account of the strong Scottish accents.
At first I thought this movie might be be one of those kinda deals..
(Cogburn's and Chelmesford's accents were very thick in this) but Im glad they didnt subtitle it. I couldn't understand much of what Cogburn's 1st 5 mins of Dialouge, but after that my Borg frontier speak shields modulated, and I was able to understand almost every word.
Great movie. I didn't remember much of the original movie, so it gripped me all the way. Could definitely watch that again in future.
Very good film.
