Lee Daniels’s follow-up to his breakthrough feature PRECIOUS is a deliciously pulpy, swamp-steamy slice of Southern gothic delirium featuring an all-star cast led by Matthew McConaughey, playing a reporter who returns to his Florida hometown to investigate a case involving a death-row inmate (John Cusack) and stumbles into a hotbed of lust, crime, and racial tension.

Allt skapar känslan av att sjunka ner i en snaskig och snuskig pulp fiction-novell som legat sönderbläddrad och bortglömd framme i solen.
