Perfect capers gone horribly, inexorably awry have always kept audiences squirming. But just when we think we've seen it all, Raimi offers a few new wrinkles. Jul 22, 2008

The materials of Sam Raimi's A Simple Plan are not unfamiliar, but rarely is a film this skillful at drawing us, step by step, into the consequences of criminal action. Jan 1, 2000 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

As straightforward in narrative as it is gut-wrenching in effect, A Simple Plan is a sort of slow-motion skid down an icy blacktop- it's a movie you watch with a mounting sense of dread. Jan 1, 2000

[Raimi] austerely rejects hyped-up camera tricks and jokey shock effects and creates living, complex characters whose fates we care about. The result is easily his finest film to date. Jun 18, 2012 | Full Review…
