Fargo is a very involving movie. The performances from the leading roles of Frances McDormand and William H. Macy, characters on both sides of the law give you two very different view points.

Although this is based on actual events, it is not as violent as people might expect. Gunfire is inevitable however the deceased were given dignity and bloodshed was very minimal. Used only to make a point!

The humor used was very well blended into a serious movie which I personally think is why this movie was so successful. Any other B.O.T.S would have flunked with so little action so when at the video store on Friday night and unsure which movie to pick, Fargo is always a good choice.
