This movie is seriously fucked up. It deals with a lot of subjects that are not talked about in the movies in such a blunt way. Pedophilia, strange sexual urges, alienation, midlife crises, and much more will be seen in this movie. But it would be all in vain if it were not for those [...]

When I saw the title of this flick it reminded me of a similar themed movie from 1996 Extreme Measures, but instead of a dumb-ass remake (did anyone said Death At The Funeral), we got a milking drama with sappy theme based on a true story. The director and producers tried to portray the life [...]

When you see that some movie is directed by Coen brothers you know it is going to be good. This time they tried to make a noir film, and they succeeded. Cast is perfect as always and Frances McDormand is present as well as in any other their movie. Ed Crane is a simple man, he [...]

I think this is one of the few Argentinian movies that I have seen, and this is definitely the best. Although it uses the same premise as any other detective/killer movie, this one has a soul of its own, and that special vibe that you cannot find in American movies. The sets, clothes and everything else [...]

Hate, love, doubt, and blind belief present even today are portrayed in a masterful way, and you can [...]

As everybody else I had my doubts about this movie, since the original was a fucking masterpiece. But the new title, cast and director looked promising. And they kept their promise.
