A God-fearing bluesman (Jackson) takes to a wild young woman (Ricci) who, as a victim of childhood sexual abuse, looks everywhere for love, never quite finding it.
Samuel L. Jackson is such a GREAT actor. I'm almost convinced the man can play anything. He can play a southern country boy and still make it cool and believeable. Both he and Christina Ricci were awesome in this film. I'd say either this performance or her role in Monster are Christina Ricci's greatest work. Unfortunately, this movie didn't make a lot of noise opening weekend, only $4 million, but I predict it should make its money back on DVD.
