Synopsis:
The Coen Brothers are back with a dark and twisted film noir unlike anything you`ve ever seen. Set in a small 1949 California town, this is the story of a seemingly simple barber, who turns to blackmail and revenge to escape his achingly dull life. But in the tradition of classic noir, nothing goes as planned and nothing is as it seems. And as the barber`s plot unravels, the delicious surprises, stunning revelations and just plain strange occurrences will disturb and delight you long after the film has ended.

Your Opinions and Comments
Dark but humorous storyline, that`s at times confusing but it`s worth hanging in there. Billy Bob Thornton is fantastic in the lead role. He only has about 20 lines in the film but does provide the naration, a beautifully understated performance that should have won awards. The script is clever. Also to point out that Roger Deakins Bafta award winning cinematography is absolutely stunning!
The anamorphic transfer is crisp and clean. The DD5.1 sountrack is clear in delivering Carter Burwells excellent soundtrack.
Extras: The making of is an amateurish affair that`s not hugely interesting. A 45 minute interview with Roger Deakins is very interesting but also amateurish. Some deleted scenes finish it off.
If you are Coen Brother`s fan then you`ll love this.
