Fargo [Blu-ray] Review

Do not believe the Coen Brothers when they this is a true story. But it is something that can happen. People have been known to stage `wife kidnappings' for various reasons and things often go wrong in any crime.
Things do go horrendously wrong for William H Macy's car salesman character here, with Frances McDormand (the local sheriff) hot on his trail. She's pregnant and tired, but she does not give up. The two small-time criminals (played brilliantly by Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare) hired by Macy for the dastardly deed seemingly cannot do anything right and leave a trail of bodies and blood on the snow. Of course, they do fall out with each other by the end of the movie and one of them ends up in a wood chipper.
The movie has plenty of light moments and humor despite the high body count and you will get a load of the Minnesota accent and dialect by the time it finishes. But all these elements are well integrated into the movie so that no incident feels out of place. The editor has done a superb job.
This movie will be remembered for its lush photography. The brilliant white snowy landscapes will challenge your telly and please your eyes. The blu-ray transfer is obviously not top grade, but this is the best picture available on any home video release of Fargo. The sound too is average, but then this is a dialogue driven movie with some action in between.
This is one of the Coens' best efforts, eclipsed only by their recent hits such as No Country for Old Men. It is not a walk in the park, for this is a movie that depends heavily on violent undertones. Fargo is a memorable film that deserves a place in your movie library.
