Overall Call:
Looking for a great unconventional thriller/drama, look no farther than Blood Simple. The Coen Brothers first film is a great 1 1/2 hrs. of backstabbing and plot twists. Blood Simple set the president for the work to come from Joel and Ethan Coen. Great lesser known thriller with solid acting throughout. Check it out, you should enjoy.

Reasons For Recommendation:
+ Solid script
+ Solid acting
+ Solid story telling
