Texas bar owner Julian Marty, who is generally regarded as not a nice person, hires shady private detective Loren Visser, who is able to obtain what Marty requests evidence - in this instance, photographic - that his wife, Abby, and one of his bartenders, Ray, are having an affair. As Ray and Abby realize that Marty has found out about them, it allows them to plan for their future away from Marty, while being up front with Marty about the situation. Marty, in turn, decides to hire Visser once again, this time to kill Abby and Ray, and dispose of their bodies so that they won't be found. The out-in-the-open affair and the contract hit lead to some actions based on self-interest and a standoff of sorts between the four players, which is compounded in complexity by some wrong assumptions of what has happened, with an innocent bystander, another of the Marty's bartenders, Meurice, potentially, and unwittingly, adding to the scenario.
Leave your thoughts about Blood Simple.
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth Turan"Blood Simple" becomes a dazzling comedie noire, a dynamic, virtuoso display by a couple of talented fledgling filmmakers who give the conventions of the genre such a thorough workout that the result is a movie that's fresh and exhilarating. |
| Little White LiesDavid JenkinsOne of the great debut features of modern times. |
| Blunt ReviewEmily BluntJoel and Ethan Coen's spooky tale is still fresh today! They truly opened the door for low budget, intelligent, slow moving films; that real people banter, believable situations all delightfully twisted around a dreamlike state. |
| Rochester Democrat and ChronicleJack GarnerFrom the get-go, Blood Simple demonstrates the originality, warped sensibility and bravura filmmaking that have marked nearly all Coen brothers films. |
| FanboyNation.comSean MulvihillFrom their very first feature, the Coen Brothers already had their brilliance firmly in place. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversThe Coens, then as now, are alive to the possibilities of movies. So savor their technique and the sizzling performances. |
| Village VoiceJ. HobermanFrom first shot to last, the Coens seldom miss an opportunity to suggest that theirs is a movie made by evolutionarily advanced life-forms touring a primitive planet. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseSimpleness and crime have consistently fascinated the pair, who may as well be praying at the temple of Ate...the Coens preach a healthy respect for the randomness and chaos that ensues from our desires. [Criterion Blu-ray] |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonWe had no idea what we were in for back then, but the film truly did announce the arrival of two major talents. |
| San Diego MetropolitanJean Lowerison...it is both tense and gruesome; there is little humanity here, but a great script and terrific camera work make even that bearable. |
