Another Coen brothers movie with a fast moving/multi-point of view plot/action line. A big ensemble cast with lots of big names. Still, I found the film dissatisfying. The goal -- which is similar to all Coen films -- seems to be to take all that big starpower and put it into as ugly and shocking a wrapper as possible. The story is ugly and so are the characters. A bit of a waste to have pretty boys Brad Pitt and George Clooney in such an unattractive movie. Okay, well it is darkly funny in parts.
[Actually though, Pitt and Clooney are getting old, so actually this movie might be a good choice for them.]
