It just goes to show that even in the nineties a slow burner of a movie could become an all time classic.

It's a whimsical crime thriller between the heavily pregnant Marge (Frances McDormand), the under thumb Jerry (William H Macy) and the two crooks he gets to kidnap his wife and get some much needed money from his father in law. The two crooks are Carl and Gaear, Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare, who amazingly dislike each other.

It's more of a black comedy than a thriller and none the worse for it. McDormand is brilliant as Marge, but plaudits must also go to Buscemi as one of the hapless villains. Ya, indeed.
