Many levels of paradox and complexity beneath the strange surface characterizations. Watch and enjoy it for the experience and the brilliance of the writing/acting. I am an Actuary (realist) and normally do not enjoy this type of movie (post modern, off the wall, expressive creative), but I absolutely highly recommend this one. One of the few movies that I actually recommend to people. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Well-shot, well-acted and brimming with pertinent social messages. Tim Robbins works well with Jennifer Jason-Leigh. This movie has a sort of "Brazil" feel to it. It shows the dark underbelly to capitalism while never really preaching. Beautiful ending too.
Highly recommended. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Just smart and fun and pure Coen brothers. Paul Newman was great and Tim Robbins was simply wonderful. I can't imagine anyone else in that role. Mailroom clerk goes straight to the top -little does he know he's just a patsy. Watch for the buiding clock keeper to be Father Time of sorts and the building maintenance man that removes the names from the office doors when someone is fired (or dies) to be the Grim Reaper so to speak. Their little battle at the end is the kind of stuff I love the Coen brothers for. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||
