A Simple Plan (1998)
9/10
Sam Raimi's surprise gem
24 February 2021
Pretty awesome film by Sam Raimi that is fairly different from the type of movie he usually does. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this, having never heard of it until recently. The performances of Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton were excellent and the film gives these characters moral dilemmas and decisions that are both rational and irrational. There's a Fargo-esque quality to it that shines and the pacing is just right if you ask me. By the end, there are huge consequences. For a straight-up Crime Thriller, this is a film more people need to see.

8.5/10
