The Max ’80s Crime Thriller That Changed Movies Forever

In Blood Simple, a local small-town bartender named Ray begins engaging in an affair with his bosses wife, Abby.

Humiliated, emasculated, and ashamed, the boss hires a private investigator to gather proof of the affair, and later asks the man to kill them both.

Seeking an easy payday, the private investigator doctors a series of photos to appear as though the couple have been killed, before shooting and robbing the bar owner himself.
