It's an insidiously captivating film that stays a step ahead of even the most astute viewers. It involves a violent chain-reaction set off by a poorly planned blackmail in the late Forties in Smalltown, USA. It's not one of the most beloved Coen Brothers films, but a good one nonetheless. Rating: B+
