First of all, the film is mainly about desperation. The lead man was in great need of money he got to a point that he would get the money by kidnapping his own wife through two criminals who happens to be aimless in life other than getting the money. Two characters contain the quality of too much violence in them. On the other side, we see a character that, even she is pregnant, is doing her best to serve in her job as a policewoman. This character also imposes the virtue of care to everyone around you. So, this film also perfectly blends intense violence with pitch humor suited to the supposedly "dark" story. In the end, this is a brilliant film that is, otherwise, not appropriate for young children. Even then, age barriers couldn't hinder the exotic intelligence exerted in this film. Perfect!

One of the funniest movies i have seen. The coen brothers do it again!

First of all dont listen to the poster who was before me this an excellent film it is bloody but it tells a great story. a must see

It still boggles my mind that this movie is considered brilliant!? It is disgusting, filthy, full of language, murder and violence. What is so brilliant about that? What a waste of talent, time, money, just about everything...

I watched it yesterday and it is my favourite film. I am only thirteen so that is why I am rating it as I have. Ten years ago I don't think I would have been abled to watch it and nobody would have rated it for people under 17 years of age but nowadays younger kids are being exposed to the kind of language used in this movie. I had already heard about the woodchipper part and leading up to it I was really scared but when I saw it I laughed so hard! It is one of the funniest movies that I have seen in a long time, even though it probably isn't supposed to be because it is a true story, and the only thing I would say to look out for is the sex scenes. There are two strong ones. Nevertheless, excelent film! I love Steve Buscemi!

well its a great movie but the coens have done a lot better. however, apart from the woodchipper bit and steve buscemis face for a bit (bleeding) its really not that extreme. there are a few f words but have you been into a school lately?

I thought this movie was pretty good but I felt maybe if it moved at a faster pace it would be more thrilling and exciting - but thats probably just me :)

I love this movie. It's truly incredible and unique, and manages to be both funny and thrilling. However, it's probably not for sensitive viewers, since there are lots of f-words and brief but disturbing bursts of bloody violence. There's also two sex scenes, but they literally only a few seconds long each, so they're not a big deal. An incredible movie with great acting and a witty script, one of my favorites.
