Review of The Ladykillers (2004) by Petros T — 09 Apr 2011
The Coens write and direct strange stories about human relationships. The original film, Alexander McKendrick's classic black comedy, could've become even better in the hands of them two. Instead, what they do is try to imitate it.
But McKendrick's film was an atmospherical tale of greed and selfishness, while this one is its poor admirer. The only thing they add are some disgusting stories about cut fingers. What's left? Just some original elements which haven't been destroyed and nothing more.
