While I certainly appreciate the talent of the Coen Brothers, I can’t exactly call myself an expert or even necessarily a fan. My personal taste in movies doesn’t usually gravitate toward dark or graphic violence so that eliminates quite a few of the Coens’ major films, including last year’s No Country For Old Men, from my sphere of enjoyment. However, I have enjoyed their comedies quite a bit. O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Raising Arizona are among my favorite movies. I even like Fargo, though I confess I’ve only seen an edited version on cable. (Sacrilege for a film fan, I know.) So I was both excited and a little leery about this dark comedy.
