Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
Leave it to the wildly inventive Coen brothers (Joel directs, Ethan produces, they both write) to concoct a fiendishly clever kidnap caper that's simultaneously a comedy of errors, a Midwestern satire, a taut suspense thriller, and a violent tale of criminal misfortune. It all begins when a hapless car salesman (played to perfection by William H. Macy) ineptly orchestrates the kidnapping of his own wife. The plan goes horribly awry in the hands of bumbling bad guys Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare (one of them being described by a local girl as "kinda funny lookin'" and "not circumcised"), and the pregnant sheriff of Brainerd, Minnesota, (played exquisitely by Frances McDormand in an Oscar-winning role) is suddenly faced with a case of multiple murders. Her investigation is laced with offbeat observations about life in the rural hinterland of Minnesota and North Dakota, and Fargo embraces its local yokels with affectionate humor. At times shocking and hilarious, Fargo is utterly unique and distinctly American, bearing the unmistakable stamp of its inspired creators. --Jeff Shannon

This is an original. Had you seen anything else like this before, really?
It's been said that the Coen Brothers' thriller "Fargo" seems like a foreign film, even though it was made in, and takes place in, America. I agree. The setting and the people are a very specialized and distinct sector of the country.
So much has been said about the movie. Having recently watched it again, I felt inspired to talk about it. It involves four people, really. One is gentle and intuitive ... Read More

I saw it the first week it was out for rental 11 years ago and have enjoyed it ever since. In fact, I probably enjoy this more each time I view it. It's a sick movie, though, make no mistake about that. However, it holds a strange fascination, probably because of the odd characters.
This is NOT a true story as indicated in the movie. That's a lie. It's a fictional kidnapping-turned into murder story with a few bloody scenes, lots of profanity (most of it by Steve Buscemi) and a pure "black ... Read More

I watch Fargo at least 3 times a year and have been doing so since it came out. It is my favorite movie of all time. If you haven't seen it, you must!

Fargo is among the better efforts of the Coen Brothers. Frances McDormand won an Oscar for her portrayal of Brainerd Police Chief Marge Gunderson. It was well deserved, as she not only mastered the Midwest accent but created a complex character that was almost naive, always seeing the good in people and situations; but nevertheless, was a clever detective who relentlessly pursued criminals in spite of the fact that she was pregnant. William H. Macy and Steve Buscemi were also great in this movie. They captured ... Read More

I agree with the positive reviews here 100%, but apparently this must be your type of movie for this to apply - some do not get it. I notice a sub-plot that is intriguing - seemingly completely unnecessary (I'm waiting to hear the interviews) - and would like opinions from others. There's a scene where the sheriff (McDormand) meets what seems like an old friend/acquaintance from school, an oriental-looking guy - sorry can't remember his name. She meets him at the Radison I believe for lunch. Its a totally weird ... Read More
