   I enjoyed the movie for being a Coen **** type of film. Then I read Roger Ebert's review and found out that the studio re-edited and changed the film without the consent of the director who now refers to the film as something with her name on it that isn't really her film.

Had it not been for some fantastic actors, I would have had a hard time giving it a single star. A plot like this deserved a lot better.… Expand
