i opted to watch this film for one reason and one reason alone. samuel l. jackson. i happen to like him and a lot. i had seen no previews or trailers for this overlooked film and so went into it with no real expectations. jackson do not disappoint as lazarus and a down on his luck blues man in the deep south and and delivered perhaps his most powerful performance ever and including playing and singing a number of excellent blues tunes. but the real surprise here was christina ricci and at best a vapid airhead in real life and who took the role of the sexually abused town tramp rae and made her a believable and almost even likable character. watching the decidedly non sexual relationship evolve between lazarus and rae was simply amazing. justin timberlake and pop star turned wanna be actor and should go back to causing wardrobe malfunctions and prancing around a pop stage. his mostly forced performance was distracting and at best and from the real story here. this movie is raw and gritty and and at times quite in your face. not everyone will like it. those that do and however and will be quickly moving it to the top of their favorites list.
