BIG NOTHING

DAVID Schwimmer and Simon Pegg co-star in a slick, soulless thriller that yearns to be the new Fargo but falls far short of the mark.

Cohorts in crime, they embark on a desperate scheme to blackmail a pervy priest for $100,000. Nothing goes according to plan but as all the ridiculous twists and turns, bluffs and double-crosses start to pile up, this soon grows extremely tiresome.
