I caught this on cable years and years ago, and was immediately sucked in. No wonder Lewis and Pitt dated-- the chemistry they have in this movie is insane. Not only that, but movies starring Brad Pitt before he was THE BRAD PITT are refreshing and are a reminder of why we fell in love with him in the first place.
Based on a true story, it's a bit sad and depressing, but still a great movie. Brad Pitt always did well in the older bad boy rolls, and he has good dysfuntional chemistry with Juliette Lewis.
A story that's baswed on capital punishment for a miner.
Juliette Lewis, as ever plays a great role, accompanied by Brad Pitt, who in my opinion plays these type of parts very well, where he's not playing a pretty boy.
VERDICT: A though provoking film, enjoyable, definitely worth a watch
