Fargo 1996

"Yeah? Oh yeah? Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah?." That's about the extent of the enthusiasm I can muster for Fargo

I mean...what the hell was even the point of the movie? Right off the bat, an amazing cast, all cast members did their level best in portraying the respective characters. And also really good cinematography and shots, loved the snowy landscape and the camerawork. However these positive are too quickly overshadowed by the negatives.

There a so many unnecessary scenes in the movie, it stretches the narrative way too much despite being just above 90 minutes, a good 40 minutes could have been cut off, the pace was sluggish and was frankly boring at most of the time. They try to inject some humor here and their which doesn't work for me at all, the failed attempts at humor only highlights the film's overall lack of wit and narrative. I very much went in expecting an intriguing crime thriller, but it fails to even captivate me in terms of suspense or even mystery.

Painfully overrated and awfully mediocre. Oh yeah.
