Fargo

A HOMESPUN MURDER STORY.

Jerry, a small-town Minnesota car salesman is bursting at the seams with debt... but he's got a plan. He's going to hire two thugs to kidnap his wife in a scheme to collect a hefty ransom from his wealthy father-in-law. It's going to be a snap and nobody's going to get hurt... until people start dying. Enter Police Chief Marge, a coffee-drinking, parka-wearing - and extremely pregnant - investigator who'll stop at nothing to get her man. And if you think her small-time investigative skills will give the crooks a run for their ransom... you betcha!

    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.

    An overhyped movie that failed to deliver. I didn’t connect with the characters or the plot.

    Surprisingly good! I didn't expect much, but the twists and emotional depth really pulled me in.
