Here's a movie that's not well-known, yet it shows signs of greatness from the genius movie team Joel and Ethan Coen. The movie is an exploration of film noir, and is a very good one at that.
Frequent Coen movie star Frances McDormand plays the lead role, and Tex Cobb plays the villain out to get her.
Although the music can be annoying at times (it's almost entirely the same song played over and over), the suspense just might kill you before the movie is over. A must have for any Coen brothers fan!
Joel and Ethan Coen (FARGO, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN) change the face of independent cinema forever with their brillantly, inventive debut film about a backwoods bar owner (Dan Hedaya) who hires a sleazy private dectective (the connivingly corrupt M. Emmet Walsh) to murder his wife (Frances McDormand, in her film debut) and her boyfriend (John Getz).
I don't know what to say about BLOOD SIMPLE, it is simply a msterful Texan noir with ironic, witty dialogue, four-dimensional characters, a sweat-filled, brooding atmosphere highed by cinematographer Barry Sonnenfeld, and a schitzophrenic, but self-conscious soundtrack from composer Carter Burwell with songs provided by Patsy Cline and The Four Tops.
I also wanted to give credit for John Getz's naturally-gifted performance as a bartender who unexpectivedly plunges into a complicated web of double-crosses and compliations. As an actor, he always been underrated and underappreciated for his work in THE FLY, and to a lesser extent MEN AT WORK.
Come on Hollywood, take advantage of this man's unexplored talent already!
In summing up BLOOD SIMPLE, it is among the finest modern noirs of the past thirty years.
It's the Coen brothers first movie and truly one of the 10 best movies of its genre. If you don't believe me - see it for yourself. It introduced the Coen brothers to America filmland and also Danny Hadaya - one of our great current character actors. I believe it has become a classic and should be seen at least once yearly. Truly a wonderful Ebay purchase.

This is one of those movies that you are almost contemplating turning off just before the climax and ending of the movie. If you keep watching you will be satisfied, if you don't you may regret it. The movie was a bit slow paced so if you are impatient I wouldn't recommend it, but it is good for those who favor the independent flick that you have to appreciate and have a taste for.
I would call it a good love triangle gone seriously wrong movie, and it's 4/5 stars if that's what you're into.
One of my all time favorites. Hard to believe it's 25 years old. It holds up well and will surely always be a cinema classic.
