Year: 2009
I found it hard to keep up with this film at first, it starts slow, boasts all of the Coen's brand of bland, almost square cinematography, and the story isn't anything that gabs you by the balls, but let me assure you that your balls will be grabbed & twisted, albeit gently, by the time the film ends. It is funny, with the typical Coen brothers' humor, just leaves you with a smirk & maybe shifting uneasily in your seat, and is full of irony. The screenplay is brilliant & the acting is very good, what else do you need. And let me correct myself for saying that the cinematography is all bland, it is not, there will be sudden bursts of almost surreal sequences to just break the monotony. In fact the film starts off with one such sequence, which has practically nothing to do with the rest of the film, apart from maybe act as a pointer towards what to expect. The climax is worth waiting for.
I give it: 7.5 on 10

I felt this not as good as the last 4-5 films the brothers made.
i was stoned when i watched it so it seemed awesome, kicchu details acche jegulo khub interesting, it's not that nice if you watch it normally, in fact i started watching it when i was sober & got bored in 30 minutes. But the climax is amazing nevertheless.
