Havin' taken the time to consider, I find all the players concerned to be at the top of their crafts. It is but a simple story, straight told, admirably gritty in demeanour and the characters' fix. Though, like a fiddle tune played with scant notes discordant, there is an unfortunate lack, maybe the fault of the tale itself, maybe somethin' else. It is to my mind, that this be not counted amongst the greatest works of the Brothers Coen.
