A Sam Raimi film I've never seen? Written by the Coen brothers?! Well that mistake has been fixed.

It's a crazy cartoon of a film, like most of Rami's earlier efforts. It starts out with some very 40's stock dialogue, every line is practically a cliche. After a few scenes of set up the action begins, and from then on there is practically no dialogue until the final scene, just a huge long cartoon of slapstick violence and chases. And there is a lot of great stuff in there.

The tone of comedy was a little hard to get into this early in the morning. It's completely stylised and over the top like Evil Dead. I'm not sure these actors pull it off that well though, except of course Bruce Campbell, he's born to do this stuff. But if you can get into the style it's an enjoyable and entertaining film.
