If you are a Brad Pitt connoisseur, then this is your movie. "...Schwinn..."
i get a big kick out of reading the naysayers' reviews for this film (especially the reviews above mine), saying stuff like: "what was the point of that?", "i didn;t get it". The point is there is no point! it's funny watching all these people expecting a brainless comedy because god forbid they have to think a little. that's what you can expect from the coens. And if any human being is out there with a taste for good movies, they'll probably like this. Expecially if they are a coen fan, namely liking films like fargo or the big lebowski. It's the typical coen fromula of crime gone wrong with insane results. It may not be a "laugh out loud" movie but it is a very very very dark comedy, much like most of the coen's works. I do agree it was misadvertised, but in a good way. It's not their best, but it is up there. This is coming from a thourough film fan and a general coen brother fan. Point being, if you haven't seen this but loved most of the coen brother films like: fargo, big lebowski, blood simple, the ladykillers, or even old country for no men, chances are you will at least enjoy this film and i think it is certainly worth at least one viewing.
