the first time i saw this movie and it do not seem to go anywhere . when i watch it a second time though and it make a lot more sense . give it a chance and watch it more than once and there be a lot of key element that shape the story that could be miss the first and even second time watch it . the cohen brother brilliantly weave actual happening of the early 20th century into this story to make a believable setting and storyline . the combination of clooney lead role blend well with turturro and nelson support act . john goodman appearance in the movie be hilarious . the soundtrack be great as well . this movie have become a household favorite for my family . positive and for sure .
