Director : Lee Daniels
Running Time : 107 mins
Miami reporter Ward Jansen (McConaughey) returns to his home town to investigate a racially motivated murder apparently committed by a man named Hillary Van Wetter (Cusack), taking his brother Jack (Efron) on as his driver for the investigation, but when Jack becomes involved with Charlotte Bless (Kidman), the fiancée of Van Wetter, things get a little personal for everyone involved.
I’m not quite sure how necessary all the sex scenes were to the storyline, but clearly the writer thought they were. None of the characters are very likeable, and the investigation is disjointed and difficult to follow, what with there being little or no explanation as to how they came up with the witnesses to question. The performances are forced and stilted, although parts of the ending (for me) were satisfying, but the open ended-ness of the piece really left me feeling like I’d been cheated out of a resolution.
