The scheme collapses when the thugs shoot a state trooper.

Marvelously acted and just as wonderfully quirky as would be expected from the Coens, Fargo represents the brothers in fine form as they craft a juicy crime tale amidst memorable characters and sharp dialogue.
-
Fargo, in its darkness and eccentricity, proves to be too interesting to ignore and too good to not applaud.
-
It's as pessimistic as it's optimistic, as serious as it's funny, and as ugly as it's beautiful.

God Bless Frances McDromand. Fargo is a hilarious black comedy about a kidnapping plot gone wrong. It's funny, it's violent and it's exciting. Fargo features a cast of talented actors with a cleverly written script.
