4.0 out of 5 stars **** DARK MORALITY TALE ****, 15 Oct 2002

By	Mr. N. Carnegie (Kirkcaldy, Scotland, UK.) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

First off, let me tell you that if you want to see a cheerful uplifting movie that will send you off into the night with your faith in the morality and humanity of mankind restored, this aint it!! Stop reading now and go watch something uplifting and sentimental like the fantastic Field Of Dreams or any of Frank Capra's movies.

This is the story of three men who find a plane load of money and decide to keep the cash. A simple plan you might think but of course it's not and things start to go wrong...

Sam Raimi's movie is dark. Did I say dark? I'm sorry I meant very DARK. Bleak even. It's kind of like It's a Wonderful Life but in reverse. However if you like dark movies and love Billy Bob Thornton, you'll love this. If you don't, then don't watch this movie, spend your hard earned cash on something else. This is a great movie, with great performances from all concerned, it just wont be for everyone...

Don't know why it's not available on DVD in the UK though!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Unsung Hero That Is Anything But Simple, 1 May 2003

By	G. O'kelly "G1" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I saw this film by chance one afternoon as there was nothing else on at the cinema, and now by choice, I am one of its most ardent afficionados.

I like the Coen Bros and thought Fargo was superb but Sam Remy's, A Simple Plan, goes beyond it and really gets under your skin, aided by an unforgettable score, you start to think how easily things can go wrong.

The snow scenery adds to the sense of helplessness, both in the private lives of the characters and the plan itself in that it represents a metaphor of endlessness.

BB Thornton turns in another mesmeric performance and the often typecast Paxton does his bit well too. This is a film that benefits from being watched alone as it allows the viewer a deeper sense of involvement with the plot and subplots. In many ways I am glad that ASP was not a huge cult success and if you have stumbled upon it by chance then you are very fortunate, as I was.

Stunning work..

DON'T tell all your friends about it. PLEASE...

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstandingly suspensful, paranoid and deliciously tense, 21 Jan 2002

By	"b_m_whitley" - See all my reviews

Imagine a cross between Fargo and Shallow Grave. The characterisation of the brothers, one struggling and supporting his dim-witted sibling. Three men drawn into a tangled web of suspicion, paranoia and double-crossing to try and keep their secret find a secret. Will that money be reclaimed? and the ending shows nothing will ever be the same again. An under-rated film that will be enjoyed by anyone who thought watching people fall apart in shallow Grave was good.
