Some hicks' partying leads to the mysterious and shocking death of a friend. They try desperately to cover it up, but some very unconventional detectives are on the case. The revelations they uncover are meant to be shocking but shock only has an effect if you care about the characters involved and there’s nothing interesting or empathetic about these people. The filmmakers are trying hard for that Coen brothers kind of tongue-in-cheek brutality that they achieved in Fargo and this comes close; but no cigar. I like weird movies. I like new ideas that challenge conventional modes of filmmaking. This isn’t it. I wanted to like it more than I did.
