Frances Mcdormand, William H. Macy and Steve Buscemi, now how are you gonna go wrong with a cast like that,, simply put you can't ,, the only thing I didn't like in the entire movie, was something small just annoying was the accents , other than that I loved it, and I learned to just tune out the accents. Our local car salesman needs cash bad,, but instead of simply asking his father-in-law he decides to hook up with these two well we say bumbling idiots to try and kidnap his wife in hopes that his father in law will pay a very handsome randsom. this movie has so many plot twists and turns , and wow the chipper/shredder scene never ever seen someone get killed that way,, what a horrible way to go if you ask me.. the characters in this movie are memorable, there aren't many movies today that I can get tired watching, I can watch this one over and over and never tire of it.. I guess everything just came together perfectly for this movie,, I've always wanted to go to Minnesotta, Or North Dakota , wherever this was filmed, and I love snow,, so really this picture had everything for me,, i'm a big Steve Buscemi fan and he didn't disappoint whatsoever.
