A Lot Can Happen In The Middle Of Nowhere.
Nominated for seven Oscars, including Best Picture, and winner of two (Actress and Original Screenplay), this "darkly amusing" (Lost Angeles Times) thriller combines a "first-rate cast" (Variety), "a dazzling mix of mirth and malice" (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone) and an unusual kidnapping plot that unravels the Midwest like never before.
Jerry (William H. Macy), a small Minnesota town car salesman, is bursting at the seams with debt...but he's got a plan. He's gonna hire two thugs (Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare) to kidnap his wife in a scheme to collect a hefty ransom from his wealthy father-in-law. It's gonna be a snap and nobody's gonna get hurt...until people start dying. Enter Police Chief Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand), a coffee-drinking, parka-wearing -- and extremely pregnant -- investigator who'll stop at nothing to get her man. And if you think her small-time investigative skills will give the crooks a run for their ransom...you betcha!

Good film? you 'betcha! - 3 out of 5 (5/17/2001)
What do you do when you're deep in debt and your wife's rich husband won't help you out? Simple, you hire two ex cons to kidnap your wife and hold her for ransom. When her father pays the money, you split it with the kidnapers and everyone gets home unhurt. That's the plan Jerry Lundegaard comes up with. It's the perfect plan until things start to go wrong. Now Jerry has to scramble to keep his plan together, keep his wife alive and keep a six-month pregnant policewoman, who will stop at nothing

Great movie! DVD could use more special features though. - 4 out of 5 (11/13/2001)
This has got to be one of the best movies I have ever seen. Unfortuately, the DVD is very poor on Special Features. The only good part about it is that it is in Widescreen and Standard and has the theater trailer. The picture quality is excellent! I recommend you buy it.
