DVD-Blood Simple



Blood Simple is a Coen brothers movie that tells the story of a cheating wife, a piece of shit who is her lover, a honky tonk owner, a conniving private eye, and a bartender who likes Motown. Sex, money, and murder ensue as expected in anything coming from the Coen brothers. I can't elaborate on the plot without giving away spoilers.

This movie is not as satisfying as later work from the Coens such as Fargo. The characters are not so well developed. You can't root for any of them because they are all scumbags in some way. This effort only hints at the genius that was to come in later movies, but all the usual Cohen brothers themes are there.

This movie is average.
