A fantastic film that shows you don't need a huge budget to make a gripping thriller. Like the more recent "No Country for Old Men", this film leaves out the trademark Coen brothers quirkiness and plays everything straight, making for a much better film in my opinion.

_Blood Simple_ is a testament to the Coen Brothers' talent, and proof that their talent gets better with age. This their debut hints at the quirkiness that will become their trademark, yet, even without that aspect, _Blood Simple_ is an excellent 1980s traditional film noir. BTW, the Coen's skill isn't the only thing this film reveals. The young Frances Mcdormand is a joy to watch here at the beginning of her ascension.

It's always interesting looking back on a directors first film. I liked this film but I wish it had a little more of the quirky humor they are able to pull off in other movies. Frances McDormand is great and I just realized she is married to Joel Coen.

The quirky stuff is still present. Not as much, which was nice. Some of the dialogue was good, in a way. Most of it was just simple speaking, which didn't reveal any character. It's like normal dialogue for a while and then it's time to be cryptic for the sake of it, so insert pseudo-int More
