Product Description
Disenchanted with the daily drudge of crushing rocks on a prison farm in Mississippi, the dapper, silver-tongued Ulysses Everett McGill (George Clooney, THE PERFECT STORM) busts loose. Except he's still shackled to his own chain-mates from the chain gang -- bad-tempered Pete (John Turturro, SUMMER OF SAM), and sweet, dimwitted Delmar (Tim Blake Nelson, HAMLET). With nothing to lose and buried loot to regain -- before it's lost forever in a flood -- the three embark on the adventure of a lifetime in this hilarious offbeat road picture. Populated with strange characters, including a blind prophet, sexy sirens, and a one-eyed Bible salesman (John Goodman, COYOTE UGLY), it's an odyssey filled with chases, close calls, near misses, and betrayal that will leave you laughing at every outrageous and surprising twist and turn.

Like all of their other films, this one contains an ensemble cast of characters unique and compelling. First, we have Ulysses Everett Mcgill (played to the hilt by George Clooney), a smooth talking man with a streak of vanity a mile wide. He has a tendency to repeat things (as most Coen characters do) and has a thing for his hair and hair pomade. George's performance shows he is an actor capable of true greatness. Why he wasn't nominated for an Oscar for this performance is beyond me. The good thing is it garnered a Golden Globe for him, and was well earned.
John Turturro makes an appearance in this film as well (seems like he is in almost every Coen film). Here he plays the serious side kick named Pete and delivers a great performance in this role. The best part is his reaction to The Sirens. Not quite as good as his performance in The Big Lebowski (that was the best!) but nonetheless, quite good.
All of this is set against a backdrop of beautiful scenery and wonderful cinematography thanks to longtime Coen Brother's collaborator Roger Deakins. Once again the technical aspect of the film is right on the money, the film is stylish without being campy. The musical score, supplied by T Bone Burnett, is a wonderful amalgamation of blues, bluegrass, gospel and more.
I can highly recommend this film if you wish to add a bit of Coen brother quirkiness to your collection. Rating: 4 1/2 Stars
If you watch it twice....all the way through, you will be hooked forever.
