    Editorial Reviews:

    Amazon.com essential video
    Leave it to the wildly inventive Coen brothers (Joel directs, Ethan produces, they both write) to concoct a fiendishly clever kidnap caper that's simultaneously a comedy of errors, a Midwestern satire, a taut suspense thriller, and a violent tale of criminal misfortune. It all begins when a hapless car salesman (played to perfection by William H. Macy) ineptly orchestrates the kidnapping of his own wife. The plan goes horribly awry in the hands of bumbling bad guys Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare (one of them being described by a local girl as "kinda funny lookin'" and "not circumcised"), and the pregnant sheriff of Brainerd, Minnesota, (played exquisitely by Frances McDormand in an Oscar-winning role) is suddenly faced with a case of multiple murders. Her investigation is laced with offbeat observations about life in the rural hinterland of Minnesota and North Dakota, and Fargo embraces its local yokels with affectionate humor. At times shocking and hilarious, Fargo is utterly unique and distinctly American, bearing the unmistakable stamp of its inspired creators. --Jeff Shannon

    Product Description
    Poor Jerry Lundegaard. He's deep in debt. His wealthy father-in-law has no respect for him. He cheats customers at the car dealership where he works. And now he's hired a bumbling duo to kidnap his wife--a plan that goes horribly awry, leading to homicide. Enter Marge Gunderson, one of the most fabulous movie cops in film history. The very-pregnant Marge--played marvelously by Frances McDormand in an Oscar-winning and career-defining performance--just goes about her everyday business, eating (in nearly every scene), talking to the people in the community, and examining bloody corpses as if no day is different from the next. A multiple murder in the small town of Brainerd, Minnesota--home of Paul Bunyan, as the sign claims--seems to have little effect on her. Yet she has an innate cop sense--she is very, very good at her job and determined to solve the case in her offhanded manner. FARGO is yet another offbeat, highly entertaining film from the Coen brothers (BARTON FINK, BLOOD SIMPLE). The film is nearly colorless; instead, director of photography Roger Deakins washes the screen in the blinding white of the snow, occasionally breaking for the drab grays and browns of police uniforms and winter jackets. Carter Burwell's score further enhances the slow, steady pace of this oddly funny and compelling film. The Coens have once again populated their film with a slew of bizarre characters, with outstanding performances delivered by all, particularly the edgy William H. Macy, the quietly luminous McDormand, the nearly psychotic Steve Buscemi, and the oh-so-cold Peter Stormare.

    5 out of 5 stars A new all-time favorite   June 27, 2009
    M. C. Semple (Central Florida)
    I finally got around to seeing Fargo, and what a wonderful surprise! Funny, tragic, memorable.

    Fargo went straight to the top of my all-time favorites list, along with Sideways and, uh, Gone With the Wind



    4 out of 5 stars thanks   June 9, 2009
    Holly C. Cooper (Winter Park, FL)
    a funny/odd movie with outrageous Minnesotan accents (accurate, but overdone). and the "WTF" quality of the movie only adds to its greatness.

    All I can say is: that is 98 minutes of my life that I will NEVER get back. It would have been more productive and exciting to watch my toenails grow. I love Steve Buscemi and Bruce Campbell, but what were they thinking???


    4 out of 5 stars A good police's movie, in Fargo   April 15, 2009
    Dalton C. Rocha (Fortaleza, CE, Brazil.)
    I watched this good movie, here in Brazil.This movie is about a crime, in an american city, called Fargo.The main actress, Frances McDormand, is excellent.Well done work.


    5 out of 5 stars Should've won best picture that year!   March 29, 2009
    Nicholi Blaise Woods (Dahlonega)
    I just bought this movie and watched it, and this was a very good movie. I believe this was nominated for best picture that year and lost it to "The English Patient", and I say that this movie should've won best picture that year. A really good movie!
