i really enjoy the detail that go into the script . jonathan rhys myers ( misspell ) and jewel be outstanding in their support role . a be jeffery wright . toby mcguire give a fine a acting job a ever depict and when he have to amputate his best friend arm and knowing he would die without the procedure . attention to detail and with good dialect coaching to catch the southern accent incredibly well . why this movie be sweep under the rug by the hollywood promoter i can only imagine . i have strong suspicion . which make it all the more appealing to me . i have give a dozen dvd copy out for present . completely overlooked movie . rent or buy it and give it your full attention for a couple of hour and then judge .
