Saw it last Sunday on the basis of their other great movies like Fargo, No Country for Old Men and Oh Brother Where Art Thou among many others.

Definitely not their best work. There were about three decent laughs among the sparse audience but the whole movie just didn't click. Good acting and all but no real character development of any of the principles so you really couldn't work up much interest in any of them. Several very good actors in the credits were given very small roles, for instance Jonah Hill who was on screen maybe one full minute and Scarlett Johansson who was in two short scenes.

Overall one of those movies you walk out of and forget about before you've gotten to your car.


Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
