I haven't been going to the cinema anywhere near as much as I used to these days, and I'm not generally a massive fan of the Coen Brothers, but I thought this film was great. I generally don't get the Coen brothers' humour, but this time I thought it was hilarious. So far it's had pretty mixed reviews from what I've seen, but it's definitely a decent way to waste 90 minutes.
Good throwaway fun IMO , Great performances all round too as you'd expect
one of the best films i've seen this year. Well written, well directed and well acted. A great use of 2 hrs of anyones life !!!!
Pitt and Clooney? No way, would rather watch High Street Musial please:mad:

doubt it really, but then I do like to listen to the thoughts of the Newsnight review where three guests (including the excellent mark Kermode) all gave it a big thumbs down:)Quote:

much better than a foot ie review for sure:)Quote:

i downloaded Dead mans Shoes today, watched it now for the 4th time - give me a grim gritty british story any day of the week:)
seems the Coen brothers only ever make a decent movie every second time, so i will watch their next one!
How can you comment on a film you have not seen ????Quote:

I was too lazy to think of all that.
Kermode is a tool, if he was any further up his own arse, he could check his fillings!Quote:

Good review, i trust it 100% and will avoid him for my entire lifetime:DQuote:

Good solid movie. Not too long & moves along at good pace with some good laughs to keep you interested. You won't be rolling around on the floor laughing but such is black comedies.
To be fair Peter Bradshaw from the guardian ripped it to shreds.....I'll hopefully catch this at the weekend. I'm not expecting greatness!!!
