The Coen brothers wrote and directed this remake of the 1955 comedy caper starring Alec Guinness and Peter Sellers. A Southern professor-turned-criminal-mastermind (Tom Hanks) puts together a group of thieves to help him rob a New Orleans riverboat casino. But the old lady who's renting them a room in her house soon gets a whiff of their plan, so they have no choice but to kill her.
Easier said than done!Co-stars Marlon Wayans and Irma P. Hall.
Dark comedy that includes J K Simmons (now known as the Farmers Insurance guy asking the questions that have insane answers)...in this role, is is one dumb lug.
