Unfortunately, this is one of the Coen brothers' more boring films.

Severely underrated. A masterpiece from the Coens.

The previous two commenters aren't wrong; it's probably one of the best Coens Brothers films, and it's also one of their more boring films. Intellectually stimulating and emotionally fiery, though.
