*****SPOILERS*****I'll try to make it as short as I can in what little space that I have to tie all the loose ends together just to make some sense of it so here goes.
Ed,is blackmailing his friend Big Dave, who's having an affair with his wife Doris. So that he can get $10,000.00 to open a dry cleaning business with his partner Tolliver. When Big Dave kills Tolliver thinking that he's blackmailing him only to find out that it's Ed! Ed then kills Big Dave when Big Dave tries to kill him! It's then that Ed's wife Doris gets arrested for killing Big Dave! Who killed Tolliver for whom the innocent Ed gets executed for killing!
This is a short synopsis of a movie that is so laborious in it's story and it's acting that the audience will need a combination of pain killers and sleeping pills just to sit through it.
With Billy Bob Thornton looking like an extra from "Night of the living Dead" who at the end of the movie when he's executed seem glad that it's finally over for him so he can get back to living. With Frances McDormand who has that look of shock on her face which gets more pronounced as the movie limps along. As if she didn't realize just how dull the script was until she signed to do it and now it's to late to back out. With Jon Polito who flipped his bird as well as his wig to end up being in the movie. And with James Grandolfini who when he's killed off, early in the film, he has that look of gratitude and relief on his face knowing that his pain and suffering by being in the movie is at last finally over.
