![]() ![]() Her character in here, "Marge Gunderson," elevates this movie from just another modern-day sick crime movie, to an original. It's also the best role, I assume, ever for McDormand who was never a star before - or since - this movie. ![]() The more I watch this film, the funnier he gets. Those two and Buscemi are the lead characters and all three "are a trip." Macy is hilarious the best character in here, in my opinion. Macy and Frances McDormand have some wonderful facial expressions along with their accents. Yup, this is pure "black comedy." It's dark humor mixed in with a parody about the way the Scandanavian people in the upper Midwest supposedly speak. 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 comedy. About the story: first, it is NOT a true story as indicated in the movie. However, it holds a strange fascination, probably because of the odd characters. It's a sick movie, though, make no mistake about that. In fact, I probably enjoy this more each time I view it. I didn't see this in the theater but saw it the first week it was out for rental, and have enjoyed it ever since. ![]()
