The Coen brothers always come up with hits (for instance, Raising Arizona) but this time, they bring us to the deep north (North Dakota that is) to showcase a very well made movie with suspenseful scenes, interesting acting and many other things, ya know.

The film plot involves a car salesman who is very insecure (played very well by Macy) and who wants to snuff his wife out. So, he hires a duo to kidnap her (the duo is probably the best of the year by Steve Buscemi as a wisecracking killer, and Peter Stormare as a un-talkative killer) and eventually kill her. But what he doens't know is that a pregnant police officer (played in an Oscar winning role by Frances McDormand) is on the case to find out what's going on.

This is just the tip of the woodchipper in this creative, ingenious, and wonderful (though odd) murder mystery in Fargo, ND. So, kudos to the Coen brothers for delivering what is most likely the best film of 1996.
