Una roba completamente insensata, che però mi ha strappato qualche sorriso. Oltre non mi spingo perché non mi sembra una trovata poi così geniale…

Burn after watching as well. This movie stinks and isn't worth remembering. (First and only viewing - In my mid-twenties)…

An unfortunate low point for all involved…

The Coen brothers create a collection of truly terrible people and put them through a labyrinthine plot in one of their darkest comedies…

A movie that finely highlights just how overrated the Coens are. They have no ear for comedy whatsoever…

Remember a time you told a joke that you thought was hilarious only to be met with a smattering of polite chuckles…

Very different, Star performers. Saw in the Cinema in 2008, and again in 2018 on DVD. Has it's moments. Enjoyed it…

An extremely tight and to the point script with hilarious themes and dialogue performed unanimously beautiful by the cast, especially Brad…

Out of all the Coen Brothers movies I've seen, this is the one I hated. Does that means it's bad and you shouldn't watch? No…

This movie gets funnier every time I watch it…
