“Above Ground” (** out of four) was a below-average Coen Bros. imitation about a recently divorced guy (Clayne Crawford) whose boss commits murder leaving him to dispose of all the evidence and a bitter sherriff (Robert Leeshock) attempts to frame him from the murders when he finds out his former partner (M.J. Brackin) is in love with the guy. Then, a hard-nosed private investigator (Ken Hudson Campbell) attempts to sort all this out. Confusing, contrived story moves fast enough to remain watchable but viewers should save themselves the bother and watch “Blood Simple” or “Fargo” again instead.
