Palmetto   1998         R, 114 min. Genre: Mystery Director: Volker Schlondorff   Cast: Woody Harrelson, Elisabeth Shue, Gina Gershon, Michael Rapaport, Chloe Sevigny, Rolf Hoppe, Angela Featherstone, Tom Wright, Marc Macaulay, Joe Hickey   This film misses the boat on editing as well as casting (Woody Harrelson is wrong, wrong, wrong for his role). But the story is good—newly released from prison, Harry Barber (Woody Harrelson) eagerly accepts the chance for a quick buck when Rhea Malroux (Elisabeth Shue) offers him $50,000 to participate in a trumped-up kidnapping. But events don't go according to plan.
