One of my favorite films is The Man Who Wasn't There. It is done by the Coen brothers in the style of "Film Noir" a term meaning (black or dark) film. It was a common style used in the 50s gangster films and remains popular today. It stars Billy Bob Thorton and a whole cast of great actors as well. First, Ed Crane is absent indeed in the movie, the film from the Coen brothers. …showed first 75 words of 474 total…

…showed last 75 words of 474 total…the irony of fate. Billy Bob Thornton is perfect in the title role. His coldness is perfect and he renders his character almost transparent. Frances McDormand is not outdone, while James Gandolfini (The Sopranos) is undoubtedly at ease between a good mood and toughness. With The Man Who Wasn't There, the Coen brothers persevere in an awesome cinematic noir landscape rather than remaining in the (Fargo) zone and for the better at least I think.
