Every time the Coen brothers make a movie, its a fantastic movie. The same can be said here even though this is one of their first movies. This is a very compelling thriller and I was hooked from the first scene.

This is about one guy who has his wife kidnapped so he can receive the ransom money. He expects everything to go according to the plan. But of course there will be many mishaps.

The acting is very good. I was annoyed with William H. Macy's character. I wanted to punch him in the face. I guess thats how we are supposed to feel though. Frances McDormand is fantastic as the cop trying to settle the case. I love Steve Buscemi. I think he's an underrated actor.

Overall, this is very good movie made by the Coen brothers. I rate this film 9/10.
