grain j Slow movie, has promise to be thrilling near the first half but after that it seems kind of boring. My least favorite Coen brothers movie of the ones I have seen Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/11/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/28/25 Full Review Isa B This film is unique in just about every aspect. The black & white cinematography is beautiful. The characters are all very interesting, each in their own way. The acting is top notch from the entire cast. Ed Crane is a very observant guy. It was quite interesting living in his head for two hours. Billy Bob Thornton is so talented. James Gandolfini did a marvelous job as Big Dave. Frances McDormand was awesome as she always is. The young Scarlett Johansson was marvelous in her role as Birdy. This was before her big breakout role in Lost in Translation. Even as a young lady, she has always come across as so mature. She displays a certain confidence to any role she plays. Jon Polito was hilarious as Tolliver. I can't help but love this motion picture. It got my attention from the very first frame to the last. It is one of my favorite Coen Brothers films and one of my favorite films in general. I highly recommend this film. 91/100 Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/14/25 Full Review Audience Member Dark, Entertaining and Real Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/28/25 Full Review Janis E Joel and Ethan Coen stay true to their bent for dense heroes and neonoir, and to their unshakable conviction that life usually turns out to be splendidly horrific. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/10/25 Full Review Blu B All Time Classic. The cinematography is amazing. This is a love letter to the Noirs of the golden era. The Coen Brothers show such an in depth understanding of the genre. This is filled with mood, great camerawork, and excellent direction. The music is good but it's barely used really and just paino numbers. I wish it was maybe a bit more catchy. This is probably the weakest area but it's never dry. Everything else is just first rate across the board. The dialouge is really good, snappy, and nails the hallmark. This is like a Billy Wilder type script mixed with a Hitchcock type murder plot. Thorton does an amazing job in this and so does everyone else. The plot is very complicated but to it's credit it's never in the slightest incoherent, too hard to follow, but really interesting. You'll never guess what happens next. Filled with murder, cyncial undertones, and twists and turns this is something anyone should give a try once. You don't even have to have seen a classic noir to get into this. It's that good. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/15/25 Full Review Read all reviews
