Tommy Lee scores again..., 21 October 2009
8/10
Author: Indyrod from United States

This is a pretty good serial killer Cajun Gothic thriller starring Tommy Lee Jones, and loaded with other big stars (John Goodman, Peter Sarsgaard, Kelly Macdonald, Mary Steenburgen, Ned Beatty, and a few other big names). Why this was released direct to video is hard to believe, because even though parts of the plot are questionable, the main theme and the performances make it way above average. A serial killer is at work killing working girls, and cop Tommy Lee is having nightmares about confederate soldiers because of his own personal demons. The ending is not so great, but even with that, I enjoyed the movie very much. Actually, it's hard to remember a Tommy Lee Jones movie I have not enjoyed.
