Fargo

Oh, Coen brothers...

Fargo, based on true events, is a pitch-perfect tale of kidnapping-for-hire gone terribly wrong; the Coen brothers absolutely are brilliant storytellers. With a cast to die for, Fargo is a must see if you appreciate subtle humor and small-town police work. Frances McDormand is a sharp as ever playing the chief of police assigned to investigate a triple homicide. McDormand is accompanied by a superbly hilarious cast of wacky characters; including dim-witted criminals (Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare), a desperate car salesman (William H. Macy), and countless stereotypical Midwesterners. If you haven’t seen Fargo, please do; and if you have, see it again, and remind yourself how much you love this strange tale.
