Maybe it’s just the fact that it’s the plot is so flashy or the fact that it’s shot so well, but this is really just undeniably amazing to watch. I think it’s the best that Billy Bob Thorton has ever been, I love him in it. Even though it’s a throwback to Noir, it feels like you got something new with this. Again I have to mention the cinematography because it is just flawless. This is probably the best and true example of Neo-Noir because it uses all of the old devices. The voice-over, double crossing characters, sex and morality is all there. Joel Coen directed a masterpiece and a true ode to the genre.
