Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Despite the movie's humor and sense of irony, it takes on a sense of somberness as it progresses.
– Eric Harrison,
Houston Chronicle,
21 Jul 2005
fresh:
In this the Coens' sly script is helped no end by Billy Bob Thornton's supremely eloquent performance as the taciturn tonsor, lent terrific support from Frances McDormand as the wife.
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,
24 Jun 2006
fresh:
Joel and Ethan Coen stay true to their bent for dense heroes and neonoir, and to their unshakable conviction that life usually turns out to be splendidly horrific.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,
7 Nov 2007
rotten:
The film holds the interest, to be sure, but more due to the sure sense of craft and precise effect that one expects from the Coens than from genuine involvement in the story.
– Todd McCarthy,
Variety,
7 Nov 2007
fresh:
Affectlessness is not a quality much prized in movie protagonists, but Billy Bob Thornton, that splendid actor, does it perfectly as Ed Crane.
