Coen Brothers don't stop surprising me. No matter what genre they foray into, they seem to be (so-totally) in control with the content. The ease with which they deal with their subjects is something that any filmmaker would love to imbibe. Take a bow, masters - yet again!!

This is one of the brothers' drier works, a good choice for those who enjoy whole wheat toast.

Halfway through the movie it felt that there were many endings and it would be a perfect place to stop and leave it at that.
But after the third or forth fade out this style started to get boring pretty quickly and the story didn't have that zest, that stake of a main protagonist losing in some way.
