I watched Fargo again recently and absolutely loved it. But my up-and-down experience with the Coen brothers continued, and sank back "down," with The Man Who Wasn't There, a fairly forgotten black-and-white movie from 2001. It's a Coen take on a noir movie, and it just felt very run-of-the-mill to me. Billy Bob Thornton and James Gandolfini were great. Frances McDormand was recognizable and fine. The story was straightforward and a bit dull. I dunno. I wanted to like this one a lot more than I did, is all.
