In my opinion this is still the Coen brothers piece of resistance, or words to that effect. It still stands superior to everything else they've done, where I'm sure a lot of other people would disagree, or just haven't seen one this too. They f..kin should. The score of performances are great, particularly M Emmett Walsh, though I liked Hedaya's anger too. He's a jealous, and mentally unstable bar owner, who suspects his wife (Francis Mcdormand) excellent as she always is, is getting it on with younger employer (John Getz) an actor's 80's surprise, of versatility when seeing him in other films. He's hired corrupt and tubby PI, (Dan Visser Walsh, in a real evil performance of menace, images of him, will be locked in your mind after) to do some snooping around, and he comes up trumps kind of taunting Hedaya with the negatives. Now Hedaya's anger is beyond the point of sanity, where he pays a very generous sum to Walsh to take the two out. It's here when the thriller really takes it's turns and becomes fun, but believable too, after Walsh double crosses Hedaya. That's what's cool about it. The less I say now, the better. My only point I want to get across to you Coen fans out there, if you haven't seen their baby yet, that still holds the test of time, you must. It's a stylish film noir thriller, that moves at an easing pace, which is necessary and comes off all so brilliantly. And too there's the ending that shows another sense of style.
