The usual style of the Coen brothers: some uncertainty of fate! It is difficult to do good, and easy to do evil. Good is like climbing a mountain, evil is like falling into the abyss...

A seemingly bizarre case, in fact, simple and clear.
A son-in-law who has desires, but cannot earn the "mane" that satisfies him. So he came up with the ghost idea of ​​kidnapping his wife and blackmailing the rich father-in-law.
The kidnappers he invited were two stupid thieves. So... all kinds of accidents happened one after another:
1. When the traffic police checked the car, kill them;
2. When they encountered witnesses, passers-by, a man and a woman, kill them;
3. If they could not negotiate with the rich father-in-law, kill them;
4. Stupid and irritable, If you can't stand the noise of the kidnapped people, kill them;
5. Uneven distribution of stolen goods, falling out, black people eat black people, kill them.
In the Cohen series, I have the impression that I have seen "Burn after reading", "Blood Maze", and this film, all of which are murders related to marriage.
Looking forward to the forthcoming fourth movie that will be a different style. In this type of film, sensory stimulation is greater than social warning and life thinking. So deduct 2 stars.
