    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!

    Good movie. Tommy Lee Jones once ...( read more)again gives an amazing performance. Good suspense/thriller. Loved the Southern Louisiana bayou atmosphere. The music and all of it. John Goodman was good. Like him playing the bad guy. I also enjoyed them playing off of each other. This movie is based on the book The Electric Mist With Confederate Dead by James Lee Burke. Definitely wanna read it now after seeing the movie. Great watch.

    This director is not very good. Tommy Lee JOnes, John Goodman and Peter Sarsgaard run on their own fuel but the story never really catches on.

    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
