The two lead characters of
The Postman Always Rings Twice are not very good at being criminals. If the movie had decided to incorporate more doses of dark comedy, they'd probably start to resemble the clueless protagonists of a Coen Brothers movie. But considering that neither of our leads begins this story as world-class murderers, it feels fitting that they wouldn't be very good at the whole criminal game and it ends up being pretty interesting to watch these novices gradually try to pull off a gruesome murder for personal gain. Nothing goes according to the plan these inexperienced souls put together and that element of the story is one of the best parts of
The Postman Always Rings Twice.
