Editorial Reviews

Leave it to the wildly inventive Coen brothers (Joel directs, Ethan produces, they both write) to concoct a fiendishly clever kidnap caper that's simultaneously a comedy of errors, a Midwestern satire, a taut suspense thriller, and a violent tale of crimi

5.0 out of 5 starsA Coen Brothers classic
By J. Chambers HALL OF FAMETOP 10 REVIEWER on February 9, 2016
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
As much as I've liked all the Coen Brothers films, Fargo is far and away my favorite. But first, I should note that Fargo is kind of a misnomer, since most scenes take place in Minnesota, not North Dakota. Whatever. It's a suspenseful film with great acting by Frances McDormand as Brainerd, Minnesota police chief Marge Gunderson; Bill Macy playing Minneapolis car salesman Jerry Lundegaard; and one of the Coen's favorites, Steve Buscemi, as a thug hired to kidnap Lundegaard's wife. It was also enjoyable to see Harve Presnell back in films after a long stretch in musical theater.

What began as a simple staged kidnapping quickly went bad, and the body count began to rise, and that's where the Brainerd police and Frances McDormand got involved. The police investigation points to Bill Macy, who's becoming unglued as the noose tightens. In the climactic scene, it's police chief Marge Gunderson by herself facing one of the kidnappers, a coldblooded killer who's already murdered one policeman.

The film shifts back and forth from the easygoing gentleness of police chief Marge Gunderson to the extreme violence of the bad guys. Be forewarned that there are some shockingly brutal scenes in the film.

It's a great film, the best of the Coen Brothers, and they've had some really good ones.

4.0 out of 5 starsMovie "Fargo" is a *4* star Masterpiece!!
By ARZFAN on July 31, 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
The Coen brothers' new show starts off in a bare little bar outside of Fargo, N.D. A dark plot is being hatched. The conspirators seem confused, antagonistic, none-too-bright. Soon we leave the bar and the title city, never to return for the rest of the movie.
So, why is the movie called "Fargo"? Maybe it's because that's where chaos starts. For the next 98 minutes, we watch a hapless, smiley, terminally nervous Minneapolis car salesman, Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy), try to settle some debts by engineering the kidnapping of his docile wife and wangling a ransom from his millionaire father-in-law. This scheme blows up in his face after he hires the wrong thugs in Fargo: Steve Buscemi as motormouth Carl Showalter and Peter Stormare as taciturn Gaear Grimsrud. The error soon results in a triple murder, with more deaths to come.
And we also watch local super-sleuth Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand), the very pregnant police chief of the Minnesota town of Brainerd, as she relentlessly tracks them down.
"Fargo" may be taken from life -- somewhere -- but it also carries us back to the land of the Coen brothers, the deadpan jokesters of "Blood Simple," "Miller's Crossing" and "Barton Fink." It's a bizarre American terrain where killers, goofballs, ordinary people, amoral businessmen and sleazy lawyers race around like mice in a maze, or rats in a trap.
Like "Blood Simple," "Fargo" is a tale of a murder scheme unraveling at the seams. Yet there's a difference. The Coens are native Minnesotans, and here they guide us back into the territory of their youth, a region they know from life more than movies. The results are both gruesome and scintillating. This is one of the smartest American movies of the young year.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsThis film shot straight to the top of my list of all-time favorites.
By Tau Ceti Four on December 13, 2016
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This film shot straight to the top of my list of all-time favorites. Francis McDormand's Marge Gunderson proves that a "strong" female character doesn't have to be a shapely young woman who beats up men or swings a light-sabre. She's quietly perfect as the very pregnant, brilliant police detective.. William H. Macy is wonderful as the twitchy, overwhelmed car salesman, as is Steven Buscemi as the motor-mouthed and none-too bright kidnapper, Carl Showalter. My favorite actor in this film, though, is Peter Stormare, who despite saying only 80 words throughout, manages to convey that his character, the seemingly vacant and very dangerous Gaear Grimsrud, has a lot going on under the surface. Grimsrud is far smarter than Buscemi's character (why on earth, after seeing Grimsrud assassinate three people, would Showalter swear at him and call him names?) It's a blast to watch the two thugs interact (or have their one-sided interactions), particularly in the "Where is pancakes house?" scene.

The plot unfolds marvelously—I was engrossed from start to finish. It's a film to see many times, if only to catch all the brilliant, tiny details. Compelling scenery, too, gorgeously filmed. I may never have been to Minnesota, but I certainly feel I have.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent movie throughout
By AB on September 15, 2015
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
Having lived in Montana and spent a lot of time in both the Dakotas, this movie is so perfect in how it captures a part of America we don't see too often unless we visit those corners. The Coen brothers as usual, outdo themselves with a super performance from both Frances McDormand and Bill Macy. The script is very tight and the cinematography perfect in capturing the grimness and bite of the northern winter. Not for under 14s, I'd say, but for everyone else, a must see.

5.0 out of 5 starsFargo is a great Movie!
By Good Deal Seeker on October 8, 2015
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
Of course, it's five stars! It's a story driven movie! What in the world is not to love about that??
If every one of these studios would immediately do a 180 degree turn and spend their time (and money!) on just one thing, seek out and find writers capable of writing good reality based stories (the more eccentric the better!) and putting them into the hands of people like the Coen Brothers, Spielberg, Cronenberg, etc., there would be an immediate, skyrocketing rise of people flocking to the movie theatres!
Instead, for a couple of decades or longer, we have (with rare, rare exceptions) continually been subjected to these awful green screen clunkers that can only appeal to those with IQ's under 70, movies barely reaching the level of inane comic book drivel!
