Matt5 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Fargo directed by the Coen Brothers from 1996 and starring William H Macy and Steve Buschemi ( "El Viego" ) is meant to be a film masterpiece anyone seen it?? There is now a spin off tv show starring Billy Bob Thornton in 2014 . Incidentally Director Colin Bucksey won an emmy this year for outstanding directing in a tv series for Fargo ( He directed many Season 4 and 5 episode of Miami Vice "Death and the Lady", " Like a Hurricane", "Rock and a Hard Place" and "Victims of Circumstance" ) Edited August 28, 2014 by Matt5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger390X Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I have seen Fargo and own it on dvd.It is brilliant! The suttle jokes and nuances make it a thinking mans movie for sure and quite enjoyable. The plot was very good too. I highly recommend it as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D. Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Fargo is a gripping movie & Steve Buschemi is excellent as an inept car salesman hiring shady guys to kidnap his wife to force his father-in-law to supply ransom money which will go to Buschemi. The suspense continues as everything that can go wrong...does and many people die! The policewoman is terrific in her investigation I watch this movie at least once a year & never get tired of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D. Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 No I haven't seen the series......I never like a series based on one of my favorite movies. The opposite is more likely....a movie made from a series, like "The Fugitive." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may catch it "Fargo " the series is meant to be fantastic - with many episodes directed by Miami Vice director Colin Bucksey ( Death and the Lady/ Like a Hurricane/ Rock and a Hard Place / Victims of Circumstance ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cageyJG Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 I REALLY wanted to see the series (1st season), it has this really out-there quality. Creepy mysteries going down in the frozen boonies. Billy Bob Thornton. Some competing program interfered, so I could not watch. Vicers really have good taste, I am reminded.

Thanks Tony watched it last nite - very good - dark comedy. Just shows how things can spiral out of control in a bad situation in fact it was based on a true story.
