Awesome! You can easily find the Joël Coen “hand” in it at the end of the ride. Smart one-liners, beautiful characters. And it's a weird, exciting and entertaining story. Bakelite telephones, eighties hits and striking film music that enhances the thrill. Easy story or not, I am not left with a cheap feeling: honest, original: back to the past. As simple as beautifully filmed: delicious! Thanks to Kurtz and Drulko Vlaschjan for the fun!

Seen 2nd time. Disappointed nonetheless. All those just-not-dead bodies. Too many.

Excellent film in which a bar owner suspects his wife of cheating on his co-worker. A simple plot for this effective film noir. Despite or perhaps because of the slow pace, it is quite exciting (especially the finale). Nice camera work here and there and the stamp of the Coen brothers is already quite clearly present in this debut film of theirs.
