I'll have to watch it again, what I enjoy in the Coen movies in particular are probably mainly:
- the taste for anti hero characters in their movies (like here the contrast of anyone from the "common" folks facing the killer, between the sheriff and his helper)
- their sense for absurdity and black, sometimes extremely violent sense of humor
- their movies are probably more realistic and down to earth than most viewers realize, although they sometimes do use a rather crazy way to put a story and don't always respect the "classic" plot
