The Big White (2005)
6/10
Strange black comedy
20 September 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Take a man working in a travel agents in Alaska. With a wife who exhibits signs of mental illness and the man is close to bankruptcy.

The man tries to cash in his missing brothers life insurance. But with no body he can get no money. And the plot is there.

If you ignore the HUGE goof that the power company guy says he has no credit and then he receives an offer for a credit card in the mail then you can ignore some of the other silly things that happen.

The cast are good, the wife is obviously faking tourettes for the hell of it. She might be mentally ill but she's doesn't have tourettes.

Ribisi is obviously one of these people who hates paying out on insurance, a real jobs-worth. Williams plays his part well. Harrelson doesn't do much but even the bits he does do aren't very well done.

The film is OK and you know he is going to get away with the money in the end. Twist is pretty good too.
