Jerry, a small-town Minnesota car salesman is bursting at the seams with debt... but he's got a plan. He's going to hire two thugs to kidnap his wife in a scheme to collect a hefty ransom from his wealthy father-in-law. It's going to be a snap and nobody's going to get hurt... until people start dying. Enter Police Chief Marge, a coffee-drinking, parka-wearing - and extremely pregnant - investigator who'll stop at nothing to get her man. And if you think her small-time investigative skills will give the crooks a run for their ransom... you betcha!

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A blackly comic crime saga where a desperate car salesman's ransom scheme spirals into genuine violence and tragedy, observed with clear-eyed sympathy by a pregnant police chief. It's funny and horrifying in equal measure, grounded in the mundane details of Midwestern life that make the brutality all the more shocking.

Reviews
I spent half of the movie thinking about how great Steve Buscemi is and the other half thinking I should buy Drop Dead Gorgeous on bluray, you betcha.
