I have always heard about Fargo. I was looking in the movies and saw this steel book addition for a great price, so I bought it and I can say I was not disappointed! Action, drama, comedy! This film has it all!

It's Fargo. It's awesome. Perfect mix of thriller, comedy, horror, and just great filmmaking. It’s dark in that Cohen Bros kind of way. A must own!!

One of the things I love about Best Buy is the great deals they do on DVDs and Blu-rays. Fargo is a brilliant film of course - a classic in fact. Like everyone else I stream many films and love the convenience of Netflix, Prime, Hulu etc. but I also have a very large DVD/Blu-ray library and like to have the actual disc itself (a bit like with vinyl I guess.) Saw this for a few bucks and snapped it up!

It was time to retire my old DVD to the wood chipper. This Blu-ray is a great transfer and just as enjoyable as seeing it in the theater back in the day. The Coen brothers just cannot fail when it comes to story and excellent script writing. The cast is wonderful and if you haven't seen this film you are missing out on some cold reality.

Joel and Ethan Cohen have written and directed a classic drama/dark comedy that will stand the test of time! Great script and the performance by all are great. The roles William H. Macy and Frances McDormand play are perfect. Steve Buscemi carries many of the scenes as the villain. This has a place in my permanent video library!

A dark story from the upper plains and the current most creative use of a wood chipper in film history.

This movie is a cult classic. I bought this to replace a DVD of the same movie. I like this movie and the BR looks better than regular DVDs. If you like Fargo and don't have a copy, or only a DVD, this is a great addition to your collection, especially for the price.

i love fargo is a very good movie the only thing is the disc as no special features

This movie had really good acting and a nice script. It’s worth seeing at least once. It’s disturbing to see how this plan spirals out of control. The blu Ray quality combined with an4k tv and it’s upscaling looked incredible.

Classic coen brothers movie quite enjoyable check it out

A really funny and actually thought provoking movie.

I have never watched the movie so I had to purchase it.

A great cult classic movie to own in every collectors library.

First off, this is one of the greatest films of all time! Even better is the great Steelbook! The quality of the film in the Blu-Ray is just the icing on the cake!

This is a must see suspense thriller. Complete with crazy twists and turns. Blu-ray is a little lacking with no extras but still a great film!

Fargo is a Coen brother masterpiece, and one of the best Midwestern American films ever made. The previous Blu Ray was fine and dandy, but I picked up this Shout Factory Steel on a whim and I was blown away. First, the packaging. Not that impressed with the black/red color scheme, Fargo is a white movie to me. It is white inside however, so they were going for something different and it does look nice, no stars off there. This version has a 30ish minute additional extra feature from the Charlie Rose show from release date, interviewing the brother directors and their female star. This is a great add as on camera appearances by the Coens are rare. And last, but not least, the transfer. Let me just say the film looked amazing, totally broke my brain watching this beauty in motion. I didn't have a low opinion of the old disc, but after watching this it was that old cliche, "like watching it for the first time". Colors popped, motion was film like and gorgeous, and that cinematography glowed on screen. It was not "kinda funny lookin'"

Without giving away the plot, it is very entertaining. There is some (in my opinion) dark humor. Not suitable for children.

Hello! For the purposes of this review I will be discussing the remastered 2014 release of Fargo and how it compares to the original 2009 release on Blu-ray. As for the movie itself, I think there have been enough other reviews exalting this excellent picture. As I mentioned earlier, Fargo was already released once on Blu-ray in 2009. That version, while superior to the DVD release and generally a good transfer, did suffer from quite a bit a grain and noise in the image to the disappointment of more than a few fans. The audio tracks and additional material are identical to the previous release, so the main selling point of this remastered version will be the improvements to the overall image quality. I can happily add that those aforementioned improvements really are quite substantial. Gone is much of the heavy grain, and video artifacts that we so noticeable on the often white background of snow. So often though, editors get smooth happy in reducing grain and noise, but the detail on faces and clothing remains wonderfully intact. No heavy hand was used here, and the result is nothing short of excellent. As I said before, this reproduction of Fargo, is identical to the previous Blu-ray release save the remastered picture. If you are a fan of this movie, I think it is worth the upgrade. If you are a first time buyer, I would definitely recommend this version, easily the best to date.

Solid packaging, works perfectly. Great purchase and satisfied with movie quality. Will buy more dvd’s At Best Buy.

This movie is a movie that could only come from the Coen brothers. It's histarical in a "I can't believe I just laughed at THAT?" kinda way. Some of the films more disturbing scenes are the funniest and that's what makes this film so great. So Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) is hard up for cash, and he needs it quickly so he comes up with a scheme to hustle his father-in-law and his company (he works for his father-in-law...some used car dealership) out of a TON of cash. The only problem is that his scheme involves two dimwit thugs, Gaear Grimsrud (Peter Stomare) the silent deadly type & Carl Showalter (Steve Buscemi is his best role ever) the nerotic paranoid type, to kidnap his wife Jean (Kristin Rudrad) and hold her for ransom. Things only get sticky when a few people turn up dead because Gaear has a trigger finger and then we have pregnant cop Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand in a hilarious role) sticking her nose in to find the answers that lead back to Jerry. Hilarity ensues and it just keeps getting better and better. The whole scene where the thugs kidnap Jean is worth the price of the film right there. With oscar worthy performances and a script tighter than most...this is a film that stands out as perfect. Loved every minute of it.
