I've never seen Fargo, but it didn't look like something that would interest me.
Evening : We found it to be an interesting movie, kinda quirky with some great Minnesota accent/humor in it. A bit uneven at times but a few memorable scenes. 'Specially the one with the brush chipper.
The plot is a little rough, the language is coarse at times, but Fargo has fabulously drawn characters that you'd love.... like Oh Brother Where Art Thou and Raising Arizona and the other Coen Brothers films... and the same great cinematography.
The movie isn't about the crime that happens, but rather about these characters reacting to their situation, if you know what I mean.
