An idiot arranges to have his wife kidnapped.

One of the Coens' best movies - which is saying something when you're talking about filmmakers that make masterpieces more often than not.

Very dark. Not the darkest. But very dark.
LibraryThing member themulhern
Disturbing and very smart. Frances McDormand is outstanding.

Just a goofy, impeccable logic-following cop vs terrifyingly blood thirsty but also goofy organized criminals.
