i have to be honest and admit that this movie do basically nothing for me except baffle me completely . it burden with a plot that revolve around the mysterious murder of several young woman and which then get link to the discovery of a body over 40 year old . the story never really seem to make much sense and especially when robicheaux ( play by tommy lee jones ) start have his conversation with confederate general john bell hood ( i never really do figure that out . ) jones be ok in his role and although i think he be really start to show his age here . horribly miscast be john goodman a julie baby foot balboni and who i guess be suppose to be some sort of local mob figure . i simply do not think goodman work in this role and although i will admit that just could be because i be not much of a john goodman fan . somewhere in the mix appear justina machado a an fbi agent and although i never really do understand what the fbi be involve in and which could mean simply that my attention keep wander from the screen . if it be explain and though and i miss it completely . fortunately and this be a fairly short movie and so you would not waste too much of your life on it . negative .
