Frago (1996)


Its one of those movies more known for a scene in it. This is the movie with one of the guys killed by being fed into a wood chipper. Very cold scene that one.
The movie claims to be a true one in the opening sequences: an amazing lie that makes the movie so much more worth the first watch. But some more research shows that its a concoction and characterizations of a lot of true stories. This one didnt exactly happen all at once, and if definitely didnt have anything to do with the city fargo as such.
I love Frances McDormand in this movie. She brings about a nice cool but weird cop way of looking at things. Almost detached, doing her normal job enjoying her tastes in food, and a husband for comic relief :p
Its a lovely must watch movie for the great script and very good acting (in spite of the pronounced accents) and deserves the best actress. Though I'd say it should have picked up the one for direction.
