wow....a great movie with a lot of complex characters

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2007)

the movie is based in a southern blues oriented town and this is as gritty as it gets. Samuel L Jackson does an excellent job and his character is intricate in its own and the director, Craig Brewer takes time to build not only Samuel L Jacksons character and also all the other characters. Christina Ricci does an exceptional job although she petty much walks around half naked for about half the movie. it is well within the limits of her character and her psychological issues (and also those of Justin Timberlake).
its as good and gritty as a movie about southern blues and psychological issues all wrapped up in one will ever get. with that said, Samuel L Jackson's walk just gets absolutely hilarious because you will get to notice it more and more and its very distinct. Its an intense movie but it wont make you cry. I usually watch action and comedies but i figured i will take a chance with this and it was a chance well worth taking.
