...with Fargo's comic felicity, gun-packing coolness and ability to come up with the totally unexpected, they maintain their place among America's most important filmmakers. Excellent.

En ok film men inte mycket mer. Kan inte förstå det höga betyget på IMBd och kan ännu mindre förstå ur den fått 2 Oscars.
