En enkel plan

A Simple Plan

Den beskriver en sida av oss själva som man inte önskade fanns, men som i vissa situationer tyvärr är allt för vanlig.

...lean, elegant, and emotionally complex — a marvel of backwoods classicism. It's proof that Raimi...has now grown into a filmmaker of ravishing maturity and skill.

...the agonising wait until spring serves to hammer dissensions within the fraternal pact, and yet in masking the accidental conspirators' footprints, the weather also becomes an accomplice.

The materials of Sam Raimi's A Simple Plan are not unfamiliar, but rarely is a film this skillful at drawing us, step by step, into the consequences of criminal action.

With its gripping dramatisation of how finding $4 million is a one-way ticket to death and devastation, it's easily the most accomplished film he's made.
