Blood Simple Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Joel Coen
Genres: Crime
Rating:
In the first film of brothers Joel_Coen and Ethan_Coen, M._Emmett_Walsh plays Visser, an unscrupulous private eye hired by Texas bar owner Marty (Dan_Hedaya) to murder Marty's faithless wife Abby (Frances McDormand) and her paramour, Ray (John_Getz), one of Marty's employees. But Visser is no more up-front with Marty than with anyone else; he makes some slight modifications of the original plan so that it better serves his own best interests. After a surprise double-cross and the murder of one of the important players, matters spiral out of control, and the plot gyrates through a complicated string of darkly humorous events. False assumptions, guilt, and fear all lead to a frantic attempt to conceal evidence and the heart-pounding, irony-filled denouement. Blood Simple was re-released in the summer of 2000 with a digitally-remastered soundtrack and -- at the Coens' behest -- a few minutes of dialogue trimmed. Hal Erickson, Rovi
