Movie Review ~ Fargo 1996

Why have I never watched this movie before? It is absolutely genius. I am in love with the characters. William H. Macy plays a car salesman with a get rich quick scheme who uses some serious larceny to try and raise the money . . . including arranging for his wife to be kidnapped. The only criminal more inept than Macy's character are the two lunatics he hires to carry out the kidnapping.

If it can go wrong, it definitely will. It doesn't help that the very pregnant sheriff played by Frances McDormand is persistent.

Watch this movie.
