This flopped on release and often seems to end up near the bottom of Coen Brothers rankings. But I love the whole cartoonish look and feel of it, Tim Robbins is perfectly cast as the naive protagonist, Jennifer Jason Leigh brings the 1930s screwball His Girl Friday energy, and Paul Newman is entertainingly, cigar-chompingly villainous. I even like the out-of-nowhere hard left turn that happens near the end.
