Lt. Dave Robicheaux, a detective in New Iberia, Louisiana, is trying to link the murder of a local hooker to New Orleans mobster Julie (Baby Feet) Balboni, who is co-producer of a Civil War film. At the same time, after Elrod Sykes, the star of the film, reports finding another corpse in the Atchafalaya Swamp near the movie set, Robicheaux starts another investigation, believing the corpse to be the remains of a black man who he saw being murdered 35 years before.

Found this purely by accident on TubiTV and decided to give it a watch, based on it having Tommy Lee Jones and John Goodman. It was a good movie, but as another review has mentioned, it was quite disjointed. Even the conclusion didn't seem to wrap up the scores of loose ends that were flopping around out there. I'm still not sure what happened, and the final scene (just before the credits roll) made absolutely no sense to me. Definitely some good acting in here and it was very captivating probably through the first 2/3 of the film but got pretty muddled after that. Worth watching just to see Tommy Lee Jones in a strong lead role but a bit disappointing as a story.

The problem from the outset of this film is that it is far too convoluted. That is a shame because Tommy Lee Jones as "Lt. Robicheaux" is on really good form. This adaptation of James Lee Burke's book needed a much more aggressive perspective in adapting the story to keep it taut to watch. This stor More

Tommy Lee Jones performance is superb and the Southern US atmosphere is really genuine but the story is just made overcomplicated and disappointing.
