It has tons of great moments and momentum, with great writing and acting. To me it never really felt like it concluded properly, though.
comedy style is fantastic, super dry and sometimes just absurd, also the narrating and acting is on point
Incredibly silly (think Pee Wee’s Big Adventure) and over the top. It’s interesting to see the Coen bros be so goofy.
This film makes very little sense but each act is compelling enough to get you to the next… & nonsense is basically the Cohen Bros signature
Great style, funny humor, intriguing story and believable performances make this a grand old time. But that’s to be expected fromtheCoenbros
Entertaining but I enjoyed it more when it first came out.
About as fun as a movie about kidnapping a baby could be, which is very Coen brothers.
Distinct Coen brothers' style, featuring a blend of slapstick humor, visual gags, this is peak Nick Cage and its absolutely hilarious.
Great movie from the Coen brothers with Cage stealing the show
A strange movie but I liked it. Cage was great in this, lots of unique characters. Tex Cobb was great also
