I guess you could compare this film to Fargo or Mystery Alaska. Its worth a watch of you enjoy a black comedy. It has some great slapstick moments and the acting performances and direction are all fantastic. The humour may be a bit subtle for some people but I thought it had great charm throughout. The story line may seem a bit similar to other movies such as A simple plan, Shallow Grave and Fargo but there was enough originality to keep you interested. The Chemistry between Robin Williams and Giovanni Ribisi really works and you can tell the director gave them a chance to flow and add lib their scenes together. Some of the visuals out in the snow and mountains are stunning too. *** Rent it, you wont be disappointed.

Certainly not a perfect film by any means and often tacky and mean-spirited, this film has some very funny moments that are hard not to laugh at in spite of the details surrounding the humor. It also rounds a hidden body found by Robin Williams Oh, an Alaskan travel agent who uses the corpse to try to scam an insurance agency out of a million dollars by claiming that is his brother, Woody Harrelson. Little does he know that someone is already searching for the corpse, and not only does he have the insurance company owner after him but a crazy criminal as well.

While not a big fan of Holly Hunter's, I must say I guess she steals the film as Williams life who has Tourette's Syndrome. The way that she deals with the intruder criminal who holds her hostage is very funny, filled with some of the greatest one-liners I've seen in a modern comedy. Williams has an accent that goes in and out so that is rather disturbing, considering his comic genius, and Harrelson's character is just another one of his long line of Looney Tunes. The Alaskan snowy photography is of course gorgeous, and I must say that as a modern black comedy, I rated higher because I considered it a bit of guilty pleasure.
