Hunter’s peppery little wife was married to a complaisant dope, played by Nicolas Cage, who aided her in her schemes, and McDormand’s Linda has a comparable helpmate: a gym bunny named Chad Feldheimer, played by Brad Pitt, in shorts, crew socks, and a high-dork pompadour.



Racing around Washington, Linda and Chad have their crazy quest. In the movies, crazy quests are usually blessed with the most tender love, since feckless dreamers seem more alive onscreen than ordinary folk. But these two are not adorably sweet dumb clucks, like the couple in "Arizona"; 



on the contrary, they’re both so pighead[ed] that you couldn’t [root] for them even if they were doing something fun, like breaking into the Bank of England. McDormand, playing a monomaniac, her [jaw] thrust out, has an impervious, even brute quality—you think that Linda is more likely to get her face rearranged by smacking into a wall than by surgery.
