A very good movie

On his journey to become one of the most interesting actors at work nowadays, this movie was definitely a milestone in George Clooney’s career. Indeed, it was the first collaboration between Clooney and the Coen brothers and arguably the best movie they made together. To be honest, I actually had some mixed feelings about this one but it is something I experienced with almost all the movies directed by the famous siblings. The main issue I always had with their work is that it all depends on my mood. Indeed, depending on when I would watch one of their movies, I would either love it or it would make me a little bit indifferent. Well, I actually saw this movie when it was released in the movie theater and, back then, even though I thought it was a nice watch, I can’t say I was completely blown away. Eventually I enjoyed it much more the 2nd time around. Basically, it is a nice wacky story with some solid directing, some awesome music and one of the best performances by Mr Clooney. To conclude, it is a fine dark comedy and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in the Coen brothers’s work.
