Review of The Man Who Wasn't There (2001) by Jaden N — 28 Apr 2011
I wished Billy Bob Thornton hadn't narrated the film because he was supposed to be a quiet character that kept everything to himself; a fine character crafted by the Coen brothers. Letting him narrate was probably the worst thing that you can do in this film.
The genre is not well known now and it is obviously dated, but the Coens decided to do it anyways. They tapped on an unfamiliar genre and still succeeded to make it entertaining. Now given that it's not perfect (slow pacing, dull directing) and it may not be one of their best, The Man Who Wasn't There still has a great script and is a great tribute to the genre.
