Amazon.co.uk Review

An endless white landscape of rolling hills and snow-blanketed forests. A lonely acoustic score (by Danny Elfman) playing in the background. A vision of rural simplicity portrayed in hushed tones. The stillness is about to shatter. Brothers Hank (Bill Paxton), an accountant at a small-town feed store, and Jacob (Billy Bob Thornton), an unemployed, hygienically challenged dim bulb, accompanied by Jacob's oafish pal Lou (Brent Briscoe), stumble across a downed plane in the brush containing a corpse and a sack containing millions of dollars--surely the aftermath of a drug deal, they conclude. Greed overcomes good sense, and the three agree to hide the money for a year and keep the secret to themselves. A simple plan indeed, and it doesn't take long for it to go all to hell as the lure of wealth tears at kinship and friendship, and the ruthless machinations of impetuous partners leave a body count in its wake. Bridget Fonda costars as Hank's wife, whose initial hesitation gives way to cold-blooded plotting. Sam Raimi, best known for wowing audiences with stylistic gymnastics and manic mayhem, directs this quietly desperate thriller with chilly restraint, finding its cold, tragic heart in the estranged relationship between Hank and Jacob: the college boy blind to the truth of his own family and the town loser whose tortured soul reveals a humanity lost on his brother (a brilliant performance by Thornton). Adapted by Scott B. Smith from his acclaimed novel. --Sean Axmaker

5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant Twisted Thriller, 27 Oct 2006
By Martin A Hogan "Marty From SF" (San Francisco, CA. (Hercules)) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Simple Plan [DVD] (DVD)
Director Sam Raimi crafts this story from the best seller. Set in a cold, wintry rural landscape, Brothers Hank (smart accountant Bill Paxton) and Jacob (dim-witted Billy Bob Thornton), along with Jacob's equally dumb friend Lou (Brent Briscoe), find a downed plane full of four million dollars. The pilot is dead and no one else knows about it. Could it be drug money? Sounds simple. However, family, greed and common sense don't always mix and the story soon goes haywire. No need to give away anything else other than there is an unexpected body count and an ending that will shock. This is one of those sleeper hits that never fails to surprise and delight. Bridget Fonda costars as Paxton's wife who goes through her own metamorphosis.

This review is from: A Simple Plan [DVD] (DVD)
i am biased here because i am a big big billy bob thornton fan so obviously i thought it was excellent, if you liked fargo then you should love this, great script which leaves you hanging on until the end, just missed out on 5 stars due to the ending but still a very good movie

5.0 out of 5 stars A simple movie, 12 May 2008
By Billy Ray Cyrus "Billy Ray" (Bali) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: A Simple Plan [DVD] (DVD)
A Simple Plan also has brilliant acting, especially from Thorton, who occasionally hits upon almost perfect naturalism. Other props go to Paxton, who is nearly perfect as a white collar hick and Briscoe as the resentful rube.

Sam Raimi abandons his balls to the wall style to produce a quiet and ultimately sad masterpiece. The snow-scapes were probably inspired by Fargo, seeing as how the Coens and Raimi are pals. Even so, they achieve beauty in their own style and add to the feel of the film. All of the elements are here then, story, photography, acting, direction, and what ever else I can't think of. It's nothing revolutionary, just a piece of remarkable craftsmanship. Given the dearth of good thrillers and the public appetite for thrillers, it's too bad that this film is so overlooked.
