A good movie

Since I have seen every movies directed by the Coen brothers and since I kept hearing here and there that it was awesome, I really had to watch this flick pretty bad. Eventually, I actually ended up with some mixed feelings about the damned thing. I mean, sure, it was still a decent watch but I was never able to see what was supposedly so  mindblowing about the damned thing. Sure, it is very well done, which was expected with the Coen brothers, all the (rather unknown) actors gave some pretty good performances but I can’t say I ever really cared about this story. On one hand, there was some funny moments and it was sometimes mesmerizing but, on the other hand, was it ever really captivating? To be honest, not really. Maybe I just didn't get the point. For example, what was the whole point of the introduction? In fact, the brothers went on record saying that the opening scene was only made up to get the audience in the proper mood and that there was actually no meaning behind it). Anyway, to conclude, even though it didn’t really work for me, it was still a decent watch and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in the Coen brothers’s work.
