Only a Coen film could have a tagline like "A Homespun Murder Story"; but here it is. Among the most respected films of the 90's, Fargo is a story with a simple message that is told through a funny yet thrilling display of master filmmaking. With memorable and quotable dialogue that pokes fun at the simpleton residents of Minnesota (the homestate of the Coens), Fargo shows the strength of pure and honest love for one's family as well as the corruptive power of money. "There's more to life than money, ya know?" says Margie Gunderson, our pregnant police protagonist. After seeing the hell that is raised and lives that are lost while trying to obtain a big bag of money we can be sure to believe her.
