    Meh. Basically just a bunch of great but washed up actors trying to make a movie fit for tv.

    Once more a film just good enough but not unpleasant. Above all every one seems to have lost his imagination in the electric mist. Tommy Lee is not inspired, he appears to play always the same character for the last 5 years. And, well, Tavernier has nothing to say about the US no...( read more)r Louisiana, so he just produces a pale interpretation of the novel.
    How, yeah, one thing I liked: to see the small time Southern mafia.

    Very surreal story about a detective investigating the truth about two different murders 40 years apart. The film itself is interesting and keeps riding along at a pretty good pace. Better than In The Valley..., that's for sure.

    Underdeveloped but an entertaining thriller nonetheless with a typically good performance from Jones.

    I love Tommy Lee Jones!!! This was different. Even though it was a little slow I actually really liked it. It was a little suspense and drama and not much action or overdone thrill. The story itself got a little confusing at times, lot's of characters that if you miss a sec you l...( read more)ose focus on them, but overall pretty interesting and I very much enjoyed it!

    Polar envoûtant servi par une très belle mise en scène signée Tavernier.
    (trop belle?)

    It was entertaining and had a great cast, but it seemed rushed and the outcome was very predictable.

    Started off good but then became average.Reminded me of The Jessie Stone movies but not as good

    I didn't think this movie was especially good I thought it was a bit boring. But Tommy Lee Jones does an awesome job playing his part. This story is about a detective who's trying to solve a crime and supernatural things happen. This is worth to watch if you like Tommy Lee Jones.
