This is one of the Coen Brothers best films in my opinion. Not only is it funny and outrageous at times, it also serious and deals with issues like justice and the providence of God. The characters are multi-dimensional and none of them are unlikable. The plot twists are great. This is a fictional story, but gets at some of the core emotions and motives that humans have for their actions.
(note: there are many literary references that can make or break the enjoyment of this movie)

It is based on a previous film by William Rose, directed by
Alexander Mackendrick, as well as has references to Edgar Allan Poe, and biblical references in the church and gospel songs scenes.
