Another dissapointing movie from the Coen's
How the men who gave us original classics like 'Fargo', 'The man who wasn't there' and 'The Big Lebowski', can resort to making a rehash of an old Ealing comedy is beyond me. In their quest for mainstram success the Coen's have slipped into lazy film making that tries to be everything to everyone, and ends up being nothing short of dull. The Ladykillers is a film lacking the suspense, comedy and superb acting of the 50's original. While Alec Guinness must be spinning in his grave, lets hope Joel and Ethan Coen can get their act together and make a movie befitting their their past efforts.

Purrrrrrfect
A superb update of the original Ealing classic. Worth watching for the 'Slap Reel' alone. Superb! Another Coen Classic watch out for Mr Pickles.
