Blood
Simple Movie Review:
Abby
is cheating her husband with Ray. The husband Marty is getting
suspicious and hires a private detective. When Marty finds
out the truth, is he want the private detective to kill
the couple. But the private detective fools him to believe
he´s done the job, and shoot Marty instead. When Ray visit
Marty, to get his money that Marty owe him, is he find him
dead in a chair. The private detective has put out Abby´s
gun on the floor, so Ray thinks Abby killed him. Ray tries
to remove all the evidence, but when he drives off with
Marty in the back-seat, is he discovers that he´s not dead
yet. Ray is seized with panic and tries with no success
to eliminate him. When he realize that he can´t do that,
is he doing it in the most awful way. Marty is buried alive
out in the fields. The private detective recalls that he
left his lighter on the table when he shot Marty, and is
now after Ray and Abby.
The
Coen brothers first film is a thriller with a sure sense
of style of the low-voiced kind. The characters aren´t so
load as they mostly are in the nineties. And that´s a good
thing. When I first saw "Blood Simple" in the eighties I
thought it was good, nothing more. Now I wonder why not
more movies be like this.
I
really like the sleepy atmosphere in the film. I know there
are some people who think it´s little slow, but it doesn´t
disturb me. M. Emmet Walsh is absolutely superb as the slimy
private detective. He steals the show from the other actors.
Dan Hedaya as Marty is also good, but the leading actors
John Getz and Frances McDormand as Ray and Abby were quite
wooden. The stunning camera-work, and the sparing use of
the scantily audible music, are combines strongly to that
this is a thriller out of the ordinary.
