- Quotes
Joe Barrett: [throwing down his business card] USPI, Joe Barrett. Congratulations, kid. I'll send you your check as soon as the Sheriff does his paperwork. Shouldn't be more than a few months or so.
Dwayne McLaren: I thought it was immediate.
Joe Barrett: Nothing's immediate in this life - exception self-stimulation. And even that sometimes, you know, takes a little patience.

Featured review
"Nothing is immediate in this life.." (dialog)
... "except maybe self stimulation .. and even that takes patience"
It is common knowledge that the Coen Bros don't do sequels so in a way it is the highest form of flattery that someone felt compelled to do possibly the closest thing to a sequel ... more of an homage really .. to Fargo.
Those are big shoes to fill both in front of and behind the camera.
Cut Bank Montana is as good a place as any to make the try.
The direction is pretty solid, one of the best things about the film.
Fargo had a bunch of local eccentrics but was showcased by one standout performance.
Cut Bank does not have one standout performance but that is not necessarily a bad thing. In Cut Bank Montana everyone is on the same level of nuts, and that fact works to keep the film chugging along.
My personal favorite was the local hermit who, upset that his mail is missing (that's another story arc that ties in later) walks around acting like Rain Main but at the same time going all MMA on anyone who gets into his way. Memorable. And pretty unique.
Plots form. People plan, people die, people eat peach cobbler and say clever things .... and pretty soon the film is over.
The ending is a highpoint. Clever. And sticks with you, like a Life Lesson you never asked for. Very fitting, if you live in Cut Bank. And want more than anything to leave.
And Bruce Dern (late 70s) might now rank right up there with the Anthony Quinn (mid 80s) as one of the longest-working actors in film history. Props, Bruce.
Would recommend.
