Review

the strong points of this film are definitely the script and tom hanks’s performance. i haven’t seen the original so i don’t know what the coens had to work with, but the remake seems to play with race stereotypes. not sure if there is some commentary here or if it’s just in the vein of don rickles or what. certainly not the best coen brothers comedy, but it passes the time, has a good soundtrack and very good writing.
