From death comes life.

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 2004)

What a great story. The characters make this excellent entertainment. They are colorful, eccentric and out there. As the viewer is drawn into the lives of the character, we see the looming death of the story teller. Is this a remake of Walter Middy or Moulin Rouge in the red dirt of Alabama. See the whole movie. Don't give up on it and it will deliver the goods in the end!
Highest praise goes to the Art Director. The scenes, setting and colors are top drawer. Sure, there's a story with good acting but more so it is a visual feast.
Ewan McGregor must have a good agent to get juicy roles like this.
