A simple plan, just as it goes in life, can go awry when carried out by non-experts. That's what I like about this film: the characters are normal people who behave in imperfect ways regarding a situation that is highly unusual.

Pretty awesome film by Sam Raimi that is fairly different from what he usually does. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this. The performances of Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton were excellent and the film gives these characters moral dilemmas and decisions that are both rational and irrational. There's a Fargo-esque quality to it that shines and the pacing is just right. By the end, there are huge consequences. For a straight-up Crime Thriller, this is a film more people need to see.

Nice small-town crime story. Good acting. Something about the decisions wasn't believable to me though. Still, very entertaining.

By the point that "A Simple Plan" came out, Raimi had more than a decade of friendship with the Coens, so it comes as no surprise that he tried to emulate their most acclaimed work so fargo--I mean far. The issue is that this is a less effective snowy crime thriller and Raimi just isn't in his element when there aren't demonic possessions to be had. This once is decent, but I wouldn't fargo so fargo as to say you couldn't forego seeing it, maybe just watch "Fargo" instead.

A story as simple as brilliantly told about people's ability to cooperate when money is involved. Bill Paxton, Billy Bob Thornton and Bridget Fonda are fantastic in the film. One of the best thrillers ever made!

sıradan insanların arzu ve korkularına, bu sebeple düştüğü durumlara dair çok iyi işleyen bir senaryo. hiçbir şey gereksizce uzamıyor, karakterler oturaklı, performanslar üst düzey, odağı ve tonu şaşmıyor... bazı kesmeler, sahnelerin oluşumunda yaratıcılık eksikliği olarak yorumlanabilir fakat onun ötesinde keyifle izlenecek bir iş.
