BBC says, "Intriguing, clever, and often surprisingly funny there's plenty to please in this thriller, that remains fresh and original." Roger Ebert says, "The genius of "Blood Simple" is that everything that happens seems necessary. ... Step by inexorable step, logically, one damned thing leads to another." Rotten Tomatoes has a critics concensus score of 94%.
This scene at the bar is from early in the film and came from Film Grab:

ReplyDeleteGood morning, a film my husband may like (I am a Hallmark girl haha)
ReplyDeleteHappy T wishes Kathy
This sounds like a good movie.
ReplyDeleteFYI: Limetown (2019, TV series): It had a very good premise, but I was disappointed with it. I ended up fast forwarding through most episodes, some almost entirely. But I saw the neuroscience building used for this in some other TV Series (I think), except I can't remember what it was. (And IMDB just gives two very generic locations in Canada, for film locations, so that wasn't any help in figuring out what / where the building was.)
I hadn't heard of Limetown. There are so many movies and series out there, but I'm having more trouble finding series. I tried "Kidnap and Ransom" last night (for Trevor Eve) but didn't like the camera work. Very distracting. It made it hard to watch, so I quit.
Deleteooo, I see Limetown is about Tennessee, so I'll _have_ to try it lol Thanks!
DeleteA thriller that's intriguing, clever and funny - sounds like a great Film Noir movie 😁. Thanks for sharing and wishing you a Happy T Tuesday! Hugs Jo x
ReplyDeleteAwww, too bad our free HBO Max weekend ended
ReplyDeleteMcDormand looks SO young in that screen capture. Not like some of her later films. And it was good to see how she and the Coen Brothers started out. Were she and Joel married at that time? Wish I had all those extra channels you get. I have crappy lowest-tier-you-can-get cable!
ReplyDeleteThey were married the year Blood Simple came out. They work well together, don't they :)
DeleteYeah, cable kept paring down what the low tier could access 'til we figured there was more on over-the-air tv lol We never regretted cutting that cable. I do miss some of the 24/7 "news" channels during the Olympics and presidential campaign years, but never enough to sign back up.
I don't think this is my kind of movie, but my husband would probably be interested.
ReplyDeleteI just picked up HBO as they are having a special for 6 months. I am going to put it on the watch list. I hope you had a nice T day, watched a good film, and had some sunshine. It was dreary here. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, I have never seen or hear of this one.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,
Kate
I rented this from Netflix a couple of years ago. You can see the start of the Coen Brothers for sure...and I try to catch every thing they make. ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks very interesing! You find the most interesting movies! Thanks for sharing, and happy T-day!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this in ages. It was terrific.
ReplyDeleteAnother film that I have never heard of. But also one that sounds interesting and worth trying to see.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Happy belated T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
Oh I have this movie on DVD, I'm a bit of a Coen bros fan. Sorry for my lateness, have a sick kitty. Happy T Day! Elle/EOTC xx
ReplyDeleteI am a Hallmark fan, as someone else said. You do find interesting movies though. Happy T Day.
ReplyDeleteWow, VERY catchy!
ReplyDeleteI'm missing quite a few of the Coen brothers' films, and I think I have to work on that! There are quite a few I want to see again, too. I've never seen this one.
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com

ReplyDeleteThis does sound a good film.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Oooh , this looks like a film to watch! Hugs, Chrisx
