Review of A Simple Plan (1998) by Scott G — 15 Sep 2007

Love this film, and another reason why billy bob is a genius. 2 brothers and a mate find money and a abandond plane, after much debate they decide to keep it, but wait a while, so from this point we watch as the money and the thought of spending it plays on these guys mind, it doesent help when the friend is a loose cannon and needs money, so we watch as the three go about there life, and if events will catch up with them, a great drama here bill paxton getting a great main role, and hes very good, bridget fonda as his pregnant wife, who sort of takes over making decisions, is great, interestinly directed by sam raimi(evil dead spiderman) and shows a different side to his work, and watching billy bob create another charactor, is great, he loves his props, and a very pittyful charactor, and what happens at the end is heartbraking, the plot although slow paced, grabs you and with a nice change in the 3rd act, quite gripping, if you liked fargo, quite similer but oviously not as funny.
