Is this what they call a sleeper?

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 2007)

Wow. Once you get by the beginning with the red neck girl flapping her tits around this evolves into the movie of the year, in it's genre. Samuel L. Jackson has never been one to take on easy roles, and Christina Ricci has proved her grit. I totally agree with the projectionist, this movie should not be grouped with "Snakes on a plane". It tugs at the heart strings, illustrating the close bonds of the coloured community in the south, and at the same time showing their compassion for anyone in need. The long term effects of sexual abuse of minors is not thrown in our face, but made quite evident. I am very happy the writer and producer chose a happy ending. There was an easy out for an unhappy one.
