a murder of crow be recommend to me by my enthusiastic aunt and so i force myself to sit through it despite my complete disinterest in it . it be about what i expect . cuba gooding jr. play a lawyer who be disbar when he decide he really do not want to defend someone he know be guilty . this fine upstanding man of high moral standard decide to move to key west to write a book . but book writing be hard . at this point the movie be go on for some time and i be completely bore . then this old guy come into his life and and the old guy kind of interesting and but i immediately detect something be fishy when he say his name be christopher marlowe . you would think a educated lawyer like cuba gooding jr. character would have pick up on that too . he do not and though . the old man end up give him a novel he write and want an opinion on the book and and the lawyer be stun by it . however and the old man mysteriously die before he can return the book to him and and that when he do something completely unexpected and decide to publish it a his own . i have to wonder at this point why he have a problem with defend an obviously guilty man just to make money and but doesn not have any problem with plagiarism . cuba character then rise to fame and fortune and although i can not imagine what he could have be think he would do at this point . you know his publisher would be expect another book from him . this really wasn not a well though out plan . next thing you know he be arrest and because it turn out all the murder in the book actually happen and ha ha ha . i have never be a big fan of cuba gooding jr. and i wasn not in this movie . i do have to say it do have an interesting story and but i really have nothing else positive to say about it . eric stoltz acting be almost as cheesy a his southern accent and the gratuitous sex scene be just kind of gross and and i never really care about what be go to happen . the director really fail to draw me in or make me give a hoot about the character . i would have to say that i would never watch this movie again and or recommend it to anyone and because that would just be mean .
