    "It was anything but simple in the end."

    The perfect "every decision makes everything considerably worse" movie. Great tension, acting, and a great ending.

    Good movie. Billy Bob and Paxton are two of my favorites.

    A Simple Plan is certainly not a simple film, The point is not how simple life is, but how horribly wrong and out of control things can get! . Was it just me? or were the murders done so sloppily that any policeman, let alone a real coroner performing an autopsy could have busted open the case an hour into the movie. Don't watch this movie unless you are prepared to see a group of people reach the end of their rope and make a series of life-changing decisions!
