“This comic update of the world crystallized by Raymond Chandler charts the disastrous involvement of laidback dopehead Jeff ‘the Dude’ Lebowski in a kidnapping case involving the wife of his millionaire namesake. The Dude is hired as bagman and of course finds himself increasingly at risk as he makes his way about an LA populated by the rich, strange and dangerous. Nor do his bowling buddies help: Donny (Steve Buscemi) is frankly several pins short of a strike; while Walter (John Goodman), a crazed, irascible Viet vet, is so determined to stand his (and the Dude’s) ground that he causes more trouble than he solves. A prime example of the Coens’ effortless brand of stylistic and storytelling brilliance.” – Geoff Andrew, Time Out (London).
