Samuel L. Jackson gets drunk and plays guitar. Also something about a white chick running around in her underwear.

I really liked the way this movie started, but was really annoyed by the cheap hollywood ending. It didn't feel like it fit the original plan for the story and, in my opinion, the rest of the movie suffered because of it.

It's an exploitation film fraught with faux-sincerity, and ultimately it's utterly ridiculous.

This is one of those ludicrous, semi-offensive, semi-entertaining potboilers that feels as if the script were dragged out from someone's naughty-book stash.

Strangely watchable , but ultimately less than satisfying.

In spite of Amelia Vincent's toothsome cinematography and the down-home locations, the movie often has the lumbering, literal-minded rhythms of a second-rate stage play -- not a moan or a howl, but a slow, anxious groan.
