Atmosphere aplenty

Rating: 9/10 (17 November 2004)

What a Cracking Movie everything from the performances of everyone to the music which really sums the up film.The sultry southern heat encapusulates the whole mood of the movie,which to me is some great undulating power always threatening to break through and bowl over every character in the film. Gene Hackman is terrific so is William Dafoe and it deals with the bare fact that racism is taught and the fact that people will revel in their ignorance maintaining that they are right until the day they die .
The one thing about this movie that you don't get in other films is mood there is a great mood to the whole film as pointed out earlier always keeping you on the edge of your seat thinking that something is gonna or about to happen
