Jerry, a small-town Minnesota car salesman is bursting at the seams with debt… but he’s got a plan. He’s going to hire two thugs to kidnap his wife in a scheme to collect a hefty ransom from his wealthy father-in-law. It’s going to be a snap and nobody’s going to get hurt… until people start dying. Enter Police Chief Marge, a coffee-drinking, parka-wearing - and extremely pregnant - investigator who’ll stop at nothing to get her man. And if you think her small-time investigative skills will give the crooks a run for their ransom… you betcha!

" William H. Macy, playing Jerry Lundegaard, a luck less used car salesmen, who decides to hit men who however very inept, with carrying out the plan. With Frances McDermott, as Marge Gunderson, a police officer investigating the crime, and delivered a great performance. It’s “based on a true story, but kind of, but sort of not”, also had people intrigued, too. Critics felt it was Joel Coen and Ethan Coen’s best film, too. "
