This movie was, well, entertaining, is that so bad? There were some problems with the plot by the time the movie wound itself up (a little confusing, with a good shot of "Body Heat"). I really enjoyed Kenneth Branagh's performance. I'm not from Georgia, but he put together one heck of a southern accent for being a Brit. Embeth Davidtz was enjoyably strange. To me, these actors (including Robert Downey Jr. Gee, I hope he doesn't kill himself) fabulously disappear into their roles. Robert Duvall was up to his normal high standards. Also, this was one of the least strange Robert Altman movies I think I've ever seen. Although not completely satisfying, it's worth the view for the top-notch acting.
