Based on glancing at a lot of reviews of this movie, I was expecting to see a hot mess of a film. But I like Colin Firth, Tom Courtney and a few other featured actors, so I gave it a try. I enjoyed it, start to finish. Go figure. Not sure what the hate was all about: purists about Coen and Coen films (they wrote this but didn’t direct it), affection for the original version which I haven’t seen, or whatever. It is no masterpiece but it entertains. There, I said it. There was a plot gap here and there, but I was watching this for fun, nothing else. That is what I found.
