A SIMPLE PLAN

Possibly the most underrated movie of the year. A Simple Plan seems like a deadly serious version of Fargo--three men's plan to keep an unclaimed $4 million goes awry and spirals into horror. But director Sam Raimi lets the actor's performances do the talking. Bill Paxton gives the film its dramatic electricity. Billy Bob Thornton continues to amaze, this time as Paxton's socially-inept brother who finds himself drawn deeper and deeper into evils he can't even understand. A rich, devastating tale of greed.
