Totally overrated, but I guess it’s not bad at what it’s trying to do. I really don’t get why anyone would wanna watch this again though, the atmosphere is too bleak and gruesome, but at least I squeezed the lemon out of it, you know? Like imagine I took half a lemon and sucked on it, then tossed the remaining. Let me explain for you: the thriller parts had me chilled! A kidnapping with a cooking commercial playing in the background? Dang… The way he walks up the stairs has got to be the perfect stimulus to accelerate the mind into total panicking. But what really gave me a feel for this movie was the chase/murder scene purported by that guy “without hesitation.” When he got out of his car… dang. Then the comedy started flowing and at this point my mouth is overcome with sourness. I don’t know which scene is funnier: the interview with the prostitutes (yeah?) or the meeting with an old high school acquaintance… actually the later is funnier.

I’m not too much into the Coen’s style at this point.
