George Clooney spiller Everett Ulysses McGill, som har lokket to af sine medstraffefanger til at flygte sammen med ham ved at love at dele udbyttet fra sit sidste kup med dem. Det bliver en begivenhedsrig rejse gennem 30’ernes USA, hvor fattigdom og racisme hærger. Man kan dog langtfra kalde O Brother, Where Art Thou? for en nedslående film. For det første er de tre tumper på flugt ustyrligt morsomme. Især Clooney er ubetalelig i en rolle, hvor han spiller mod sit normale image og dermed er en herlig parodi på både sig selv og 30’er-filmenes slikkede førsteelskere med pomade i håret og et velplejet moustache. Dernæst er Coen-brødrenes manuskripter altid et veritabelt overflødighedshorn af underfundigt vid, og sidst, men bestemt ikke mindst, er O Brother, Where Art Thou? krydret med en flok skønne sange fra perioden og markerer altså Brødrene Coens debut i musical-genren. Efter min ydmyge mening en fuldendt triumf, og en klokkeklar anbefaling skal der lyde herfra.
