But he is not content with that and uses the Bible and old blues songs to renew her immortal soul as well. 2 User Reviews

| | A great sleeper film! | Tranza01 03/30/2007 | | Very strong acting by all and a surprising resurface of Kim Richards. Samuel L Jackson and Christina Ricci had tremendous chemistry and their acting was superb. Kim Richards had a small supporting role which she nailed as Ricci's estranged mother. Another surprise was Justin Timberlake. He nailed his role as Ricci's love interest. Unfortunately I think this movie is going to be underrated nor will it get the press some of the current films are receiving. This movie is rated "R" and deals with some pretty strong situations and is not for children. Welcome back Kim and great job by all of the cast! |
