Genres & Description

Crime Drama Thriller

7.6 / 10

Texas bar owner Julian Marty, who is generally regarded as not a nice person, hires shady private detective Loren Visser, who is able to obtain what Marty requests evidence - in this instance, photographic - that his wife, Abby, and one of his bartenders, Ray, are having an affair. As Ray and Abby realize that Marty has found out about them, it allows them to plan for their future away from Marty, while be up front with Marty about the situation. Marty, in turn, decides to hire Visser once again, this time to kill Abby and Ray, and dispose of their bodies so that they won't be found. The out in the open affair and the contract hit lead to some actions based on self interest, and a standoff of sorts between the four players, which is compounded in complexity by some wrong assumptions of what has happened, with an innocent bystander, another of the Marty's bartenders, Meurice, potentially and unwittingly adding to the scenario.

Is this film worth a watch? I like films but I don't want to waste my time if this film has too much dialogue. - @Tuesday, January 2, 2018 9:31 PM

This is the "Coen Movie" for anyone who thinks they "know everything" about "Coen movies". I've been a stupid, chest out "Coen Brothers" fan in the past, so when I took it upon myself to actually buy a copy of this movie, I was so happy every time it caught me off guard. It's such an impressive work of art, I wish I had seen it earlier in my life: It really showcases how clever they've always been when it comes to the way they tell a story. I had grown up with "Raising Arizona" becoming a VHS tape that got worn out, and I was a fan of them ever since I learned about their unique dynamic. In my teens (and most immature), I was very happy to see "Fargo" and "Lebowski" projected in a theater, during a film class: However within that context, when I was most interested in being a "filmmaker" I should have seen this movie. I know I ignorantly thought the same, so if you think you "know everything there is to know about Coen movies", I feel like you either haven't, or NEED TO see this movie. "No such thing as a guarantee" is damn right. - @Saturday, July 8, 2017 3:29 PM

I always crack up when Ray asks Marty, "AM I FARRED, YOU WANNA HIT ME, WHAT?"....hahahahhahah It's hard to believe that Margie from Fargo and Abby from Blood Simple are the same actress......her accents in both are so genuine and convincing.....its amazing... - @Sunday, September 25, 2016 10:37 PM

I didn't get the part where Maurice (The black bartender) hears Marty on his answering machine complaining that the money from his safe is gone AFTER Marty was killed. What money? who took it? when did he leave that message?????????? ............HELP! - @Sunday, January 5, 2014 2:00 AM

Frances McDormand was pretty hot back in the day. I don't know why I'm just now really noticing her in films. She was great in Fargo too. - @Saturday, January 4, 2014 6:29 PM

yea when i first watch the movie, i thought it'd be boring....it's a typical coen bros film tho...too slow for my taste but quite good in storyline. if u enjoy cowboy films u'd love this one. it's totally old school mystery thriller style. there's a new one out "lady killers" quite funny :) tom hanks is annoying as fck in that movie~ - @Tuesday, December 4, 2012 3:23 PM

emmet walsh was soooooooo fucking good in this movie. he's a forgotten gem among the great villains of cinema. - @Tuesday, August 28, 2012 6:12 PM

This movie is awesome. I've seen every Coen Bros. film and this did not disappoint me. It's normally placed in the rankings as one of their lesser films, but then again so is the Man Who Wasn't There and that was a great movie. - @Saturday, July 28, 2012 3:25 AM

@MaybeYesNo90 It may be hard trying to find the original cut. I'm from the U.S. and I bought the director's cut on DVD cheap for $7 at a Target store. The funny thing is that the original version is 1 hour and 39 minutes, but the director's cut is 1 hour and 36 minutes! I don't think 3 minutes is gonna affect much, but since you live in the Faroe Islands, it may be different. You really have to be in a mood to watch any Coen brothers' movies, and I may not suggest watching it at night! D: - @Tuesday, February 22, 2011 11:04 AM

Such a brilliant film - definitely one of the their best. The plot respects the viewer's sensibility, unlike most Hollywood shite. The writing keeps you on the edge of your seat. And Fran McDormand is so hot. Run, don't walk, to see this film. - @Saturday, December 4, 2010 7:15 AM
