		Fargo, you read before the credits begin, "is a true story." So far, so routine.
		Its violent scenes are quick, crude and awful, with blood all over the place (as when one character is shot in the face, or another disposes of a body in the now infamous wood chipper), but they don't really take you where you think you're headed at any given point.
		While RZA and Xzibit deliver their own delights as performers, their characters' aggression and victimization are of a piece, and left to the white guy to sort out.
