Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
The first and the investigation with the fbi agents was good until the last 27min then everything goes wrong and what about the death of Kris
This movie shows us the events which unfold after a bank robbery, in reverse. It is a very gripping film that has you wondering right until the last scene. Great characters and dialogue, with a good mix of suspense and action. If you enjoy the movie, no doubt you will want to watch it again, since the movie is played in reverse chronological order. I think the decision to show the movie in this order was risky, but well executed. Great length, no filler... awesome movie!
Bad casting and bad acting. Plot okay and could have been improved slightly. But it really comes down to a few bad cast members and their inability to act or being typecast as a certain character. Re-shoot the series with the Fargo cast and you'll have a winner. I know it's a short review, but I couldn't make it past the first episode.
Many lines were brilliant, with satisfying performance the movie caught my attention till the end and got me well there. Seriously though, this is a drama/crime but definitely not a thriller. They were probably just having too much fun with those lines without even trying. Cinematography could be better if some more hand-held and close-up are used. Overall, it is an excellent black humour, and I will certainly watch it for a second time.
