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!

A classic. Still my favorite Coen Brothers flick. It's just so masterfully crafted. So human, so funny, so dark. Love it.

This is one of the best Coen films. Right behind The Big Lebowski for me. I rewatched this before I rewatch the series getting ready for season 3 and it just reminded me of how great this truly is. The characters are great and I don't know anybody from Minnesota but I really hope they do talk like that. "You're darn tootin" I love how this is a "true story" its in the beginning of every episode too.

Fargo is a great story with even better characters. I love the setting, the cast, the comedy, and the accents! Top tier Coen Brothers!

The acting is great the accents are funny and very well done. The cinematography is fantastic top notch. The story is unique and very interesting. The characters are like able and as the story goes you really grow on them. The score is good and it is very well directed by the Coen Brothers. Overall it’s an amazing movie with one of the best screenplays and my favorite crime movie.

What a fun, calm and powerful masterpiece at the same time. This film illustrated a wonderful lesson about the importance and beauty of simple life, and how taking uncalculated risks and dealing with criminals can lead to disasters for all parties.

It's a lil embarassing to worship this movie because everyone does - which is usually not a good sign. It's de best incarnation of dark humor IMO. The dialog and accents .. Blood Simple was the draft and this is the masterpiece..,
