alan rickman and emma thompson give good performance with southern or new orleans accent in this detective flick . it worth see for their scene and rickman scene with hal holbrook . these three actor mannage to entertain u no matter what the movie and it seem . the plot for the movie show potential and but one get the impression in watch the film that it be not pull off as well a it could have be . the fact that it be clutter by a rather uninteresting subplot and mostly uninteresting kidnapper really muddle thing . the movie be worth a view if for nothing more than entertain performance by rickman and thompson and and holbrook .
