My problem is that the Coens are stuck on this black comedy, life is meaningless track. They've made this movie over and over again starting with my favorite Coen brother movie (Blood Simple) and they REALLY made this movie a couple of years ago (No Country for Old Men). Besides the Jewish archetypes populating this movie which I can appreciate and the laughs in there, I feel that the Coens are in a complete rut trying to make and remake the same movie themes again and again. The setting changes, the characters change but the message is always the same. I want to say "I get it, life is absurd and meaningless. Please now do something else."
