"Now, in Russia, they got it mapped out so that everyone pulls for everyone else... that's the theory, anyway. But what I know about is Texas, an' down here... you're on your own." - Private Detective Visser

Why watch this? Love triangles usually end badly. In Texas, they end with a body count.

Plot Summary: A seedy Texas bar owner hires a private dick to catch his studly bartender having relations with his wife. When the ruthless detective snaps some revealing pictures, it's time to stage the lover's untimely demise. Things are about to get ugly.

Dad's Preview:  This twisting tale of affairs, plots and betrayals helped put the Coen brothers on the cinematic map. It oozes sexuality, and that ol' Texas way a doin' things. This was Frances McDormand's first memorable role, however the most captivating performance belongs to the portly M. Emmet Walsh, a well-known character actor - he oozes Lone Star cronyism, as the good ol' boy you know you better not trust.
