Not one of the members of the Cohen brothers fan club - it's the constant attempt at humour that grates, exaggerating personalities to the ridiculous. Similar to Tarantino, their films come from influences from other films and not from life nor experiences. I can imagine them watching old videos, then improving on them and that's the core, the base from where they come from. The films as a consequence become cartoons in human form.

I know I'm in the minority here and if film is about entertainment and escapism, then it certainly does succeed The good is the cinematography, framing, the stark setting, and as always with the Cohen brothers, the script. Another convoluted story of the individual whose attempt at a simple crime escalates to murder and mayhem.

The bad: the unbelievable plot, the cartoon personalities, the constant "oh yaaah" in an attempt to unify and blend the people of a community - which I found patronising.

If film is about escapism and entertainment, then they constantly hit the right buttons - it's just not for me.
