Some of you might remember a thread I started a few months ago wherein I posed a situation ….”You find a large amount of money in an isolated area, what would you do?” I borrowed from the movie “A Simple Plan”.

I see it’s streaming on Netflix. Yay!! :) I highly recommend it. Lots of twists.
 

Yes, Linda. Did you see it recently or long time ago?

Choosing my words carefully so as not to spoil for others, but it kind of reminded me of “Fargo” … very cold weather, lots of snow, one small thing goes wrong and then things snowball. But “A Simple Plan” has several heartbreaking parts, as you know. :(
 

I read the book but I don't' think I have seen the movie. It was a long time ago and I don't remember the details. I remember thinking, "Oh, what a tangled web we weave."

Yes, the title was ironic because things went from simple to incredibly tangled. But good writing because for the viewer everything was plausible.
 
I didn't read the book, but I just read a summary. Quite a few things are different from the movie - including the location (book is in Ohio, movie is in Minnesota). And the ending is different. Meh. I like the movie story better.
