Tiny things often lead us to greater ones. Maybe you are in a bit of trouble, to cope with that situation you end up taking a small unethical step, that one step of yours would lead you to many more, one after another. In the end, you would find yourself in a grave of sins with no way back. This movie is such a reminder for us, from the beginning to the end, it carries a message that highlights this truth.
Fargo is a 1996 crime thriller movie, written and directed by Joel Coen and Ethan Coen. Along with the story of our protagonist William H. Macy as Jerry Lundegaard's doing, it also highlights Frances McDormand as Marge Gunderson, who is the investigating police officer there being a pregnant woman.
So everything started with Jerry, who needs money and hires two guys to kidnap his wife so that he can pull out a huge amount of ransom from his wealthy father-in-law. Somehow he wanted to call off that deal but later it got executed and so he was planning to extract the benefits. But as we all know, things don't flow as perfectly as we plan them to flow always.
While kidnapping they end up killing a policeman, also killed two witnesses of that murder, and many more happened while being on the run. One thing amazed me, whatever happens, violence is there. A few scenes were brutal, I mean you would be wondering as to what the fuck is happening.
The story is kinda short and fast-moving, with a total of one hour and thirty-eight minutes of runtime. Thriller movies usually don't come with long runtime, even if they do so it's always an exciting ride for me with the thrills they offer.
So wrapping up, in the end, I would like to say that the character of Jerry seemed naive to me, I mean his style of talking and all that he did was kinda naive. I liked that innocence, it might sound odd, haha. And on another note, I wasn't really interested in Marge's part, her conversation with her husband, and also the meeting with her old friend. It was like I wasn't really willing to digest them while sitting for a thriller movie and as I was excited for the things happening alongside. Completely personal opinion, many have loved those parts too and that's normal. I mostly prefer serious characters in crime-thrillers, but it got some taste of chilling too.
Overall it was a good one to enjoy, as a crime thriller it was worth my time. Would like to recommend it if you are looking for something from this genre. Happy watching.
