The noir aestethic suits the story well, and the stoic Billy Bob Thornton is really well-cast. Some have complained that the movie is to absorbed in its noir aestethic, but I think it’s a really suspenseful and interesting story. Like ‘No Country’, it should that the Coens often are at their absolute in dramas with thriller elements.
