How Fargo Contradicted Expectations.

Fargo was sold as a triller, on reflection of watching the film it became very much apparent that some key things juxtaposed the common, stereotypical expectations of the thriller genre, for example:

• Hardly Any Suspense
• Fairly easy plot
• No twists
• A lot of dialogue
• Not eerie
• Dont build a relationship with any characters
• Set in snow- white, a paradox of the usual 'Dark' setting
• Flat ending
• Olderfilm- so lacked intensity
• Unclear about overall tone of the film
• Limited action sequences
• Almost comic characters and scenes.
