Summary: A pair of whacked-out cartoon-like exterminator/hitmen kill the owner of a burglar-alarm company, and stalk the partner who hired them, his wife, and a nerd framed for the murder, who tells the story in flashback from the electric chair.
Terrible. Since Raimi was making good movies at the time, and this has his typically inventive cinematography, I'm going to attribute this failure to the Coens' moronic script.
Slap-stick humour and some surreal scenes which directly lifted from the old cartoons. Yet it almost works - it's occasionally very funny, the mood and setting are dark, and there's some decent performances.
it's easy to see how a collaborative effort between the coen's and raimi would end up such a weird mix in ideas. to be honest there were many times during this movie where i could have sworn i was watching a cartoon. i can easily say that everyone involved has done better, but it was nothing like this...
Fraco, um filme com roteiro dos Coen e direção do Sam Raimi mas que parece ter sido feito por crianças de 10 anos... Caricato demais, bobo demais, irritante demais.
For fans of Sam Raimi, this is perhaps the long lost film you never knew you wanted with every aching bone in your body. Insanity abound, they went all out with this production despite its set backs. I hope this gets rediscovered with Sam Raimi's new found success with Spider-Man, because this is certainly a diamond in the rough.
Raimi, Coens and Campbell all in one movie would usually mean great things. It had some good slapstick comedy but its not anything memorable. Worth the watch but I would only recommend to fans of Raimi.
