Reading another review, I see that this is a director´s cut and much of the film is missing. That might explain why the film is so disjointed. Many questions - few answers. Why does the PI decide to kill Marty instead of the intended victims - he has the money either way? Where did the fake murder photo come from? How does Abby appear in the next room when she locked herself in the bathroom? Why did I actually watch the entire movie?
A complete, unedited version of the film might reveal a more satisfying experience but I doubt if it would help the pacing. I love many of the Coens later films, but this should definitely be skipped.. And summed up by saying Big waste of time. Currently Blood Simple has an overall rating of 8 over 10.
