Well I wasn't expecting that!!

Rating: 7/10 (5 March 2015)

Actually I wasn't sure what to expect after seeing the poster for this flick,but this isn't what I'd call a "run of the mill" Samuel L Jackson movie.Not by a long chalk. But that is in no way a bad thing here.
What we have here is the story of how complete opposites can,once in a while,help each other through life's misfortunes.
Mississippi farmer (Jackson) is going through a break up of his marriage and,after a night on the booze,wakes up to find sex and drug addicted Christina Ricci,battered and unconscious on his driveway. As Jackson explains later,calling the police to explain a black guy has found a young white girl beaten half to death on his property would be a bad move,so he does what any decent law abiding and caring citizen would do..............CHAINS HER TO A RADIATOR IN HIS HOUSE!!.
I won't say any more to give anything away,but if you want to see Mr Jackson do something a little different from his usual roles then give this a try.
There are solid performances from all involved,including Justin Timberlake as Ricci's equally troubled boyfriend.
For those who wish to know there are sex scenes almost from the get go,so make sure the kids are safely tucked up in bed!! And it really wouldn't be a Jackson movie without him spouting a few "motherf*****S" somewhere so you won't be disappointed there.
Oh and one final thing....... Mr Jackson plays a mean blues guitar in this movie. Now I really wasn't expecting THAT!! Enjoy
