it make me sad that and with such great actor to work with and the best the coens could do be make a mish mash comedy or drama or horror that be lukewarm at best and bore at it bad . i felt sorry for the actor while they have so little of interest to say or do . i almost fell asleep about 20 minute in . where be the madcap screwball comedy . where be the dark ironic humor . it be all just one dimensional darkness . where be the good editing . ( i. e. we never saw clooney hold the gun but we know he shot pitt in the closet . ) instead we get pointless and morose and dull . this movie coulda be a contender . these characthers coulda be somebody . instead theyre really just forgettable . and that just a waste .
