Original
Ciaran from Dublin, 01 Oct 2007
With an excellent score, a broken Jackson finds a broken Ricci outside his house and is determined to fix her of her wicked ways. The poster would suggest this is an exploitation movie but it is far from it. Excellent performances from the two leads gives us a satisfying story all round. Not for everyone, but then, what is? Recommended.

Dont judge a movie by its name...
Michael from Dublin, 31 Oct 2007
At first my opinion on the human race and the American way of life was shattered... and then due to some brilliant acting and a heart warming script my opinion slowly began to change. My hope in mankind and what we have become slowly warmed as I continued to watch this movie... I ended up enjoying the movie and would recommend it.

Powerful performances
Mark from Dublin, 07 Nov 2007
Big Sam and Ricci carry this movie Timberlake is practically a bit part in this plot between the two main characters. It is a bit dark and a lot of people will not like it but hey thats life and I enjoyed the movie.

gerard from Dublin, 25 Sep 2007
This isnt really my kind of movie but i still thought there were some excellent performances from Samuel L Jackson and Christina Ricci.The movie itself is a bit strange but judge for yourself.All in all its not bad.

Such an unexpected surprise
Simon from Leitrim, 29 Nov 2007
Samuel L. Jackson and Christina Ricci play a storm in this dark Southern tale. Jackson manages a previously unsurpassed dept of character and Ricci had me transfixed with her sultry role. The story intertwines through themes of bondage and abuse but managed to leave me with a pleasant taste, away from the despair it often touches on. I couldn’t recommend this movie enough, you will not regret renting it.

Refreshingly original
Roslyn from Dublin, 18 Jan 2008
A surprisingly aft collaberation between two fine leads creating a sexually tense and imaginative drama. A spurned lover and distraught nympho both in dire need of a saviour meander between fantasy and the gritty realities of the deep South. Samuel L Jackson learnt to play the guitar specifically for this role and his blues singing voice is more than convincing. A refreshing change and energetic storyline which I would recommend highly.

NO Moans here
Tony from Wicklow, 21 Nov 2007
Absolute barnstormer of a tale, really tapping into the pulse of the deep south blue grass music, pulsating, sexy dirty and dark - this is a brilliant story of one man teetering along the edge of redeption while flirting with damnation the whole time - never leaving us sure if he's the hero he wants to be.
