6/10
Starts out good but with a weak development
19 July 2005
Time for another Coen-movie, and as usual the experience is special. I really like the way the whole movie is shot, and it's all in black & white! It gives a certain touch to the movie for sure. I really liked how it all starts out, and the movie has some kind of weird atmosphere through out the whole movie. This is a good thing though, but it is still worth to mention it. I was kind of spellbound for the first half of the movie, but I cannot really enjoy what later on happens. The plot development wasn't really my cup of tea, and what started out as a really promising Coen-piece turned out to be a kind of 'OK' Coen-experience, but nothing special at all I'm afraid. It was a kind of moody piece, and it doesn't get more than a 6/10 from my side.
