Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Seth_Rogue_One The acting feels natural, they are all more or less believable in the parts they play so that's good.The story isn't particularly original though and fairly predictable, although instead of going the Hollywood route and squeezing out every emotion of every event the movie stays in a natural and low-key.If that's good or not is a matter of preference I suppose but in the end I didn't feel any emotional connection with any of the characters so that's where it fails IMO.To further the feeling of realism in the movie they have the occasional interview segments with real Dixieland people talking about various things every 10 minutes or so, which I thought was an okay idea but they did it a little too often if you ask me.

vydia18 I loved the movie, because it deals with a situation that many ex-cons deal with once released from prison. Faith played a convincing , caring mother. I felt all the actors played their roles well. I loved her sons desire to go straight and help his girlfriend out. it showed he had a heart and was a good kid inside, just faced challenges in the environment he was in. The same for his girlfriend, a good daughter in a bad situation and only could work with what she knew. I love the fact also that Faith is so versatile in acting and singing. I know some reviews thought it was a waste of her acting ability, but I saw the opposite. she was very convincing and her love and concern for her son came thru in her acting.

dgefroh How on earth did this movie ever earn a 5+ rating on this site is totally beyond me. If this isn't the worst movie of the year it's at least a top contender. If you are checking reviews to determine if you should watch this pathetic wanna be movie, disregard anyone who suggests this movie is decent.Let me begin with the acting, I've seen better acting from a grade school production, in other words the acting stunk! How about the dialog? The dialog must of been written by a grade school drop-out. When I say nobody talks like that, trust me nobody does. Well then what about the story line you ask....there is no story line, oh wait, I guess if you like to watch unlikable losers smoke in every scene then I guess maybe there is a story line for you, for the rest of us who want substance, don't look here as there is none to be found.I totally hated this movie, probably more so because some of the reviewers on this site actually thought this was a good movie and tricked me into watching it. WARNING!! Do not believe anyone who recommends any facet of this bore feast of a movie which by the way moves slower than a 3 legged turtle in quicksand.

mjmeltzer You don't see many films like this one. The documentary mixed in adds an interesting depth and candidness as do the flashbacks. The angles used during the filming are also really well done. Faith Hill is originally from this area of Mississippi and it seems like this role could really help relaunch her acting career. On that note, I was impressed by all of the acting performances and the directing in general. I'm not familiar with this director, but it seems like big things are in store down the road. You can take away a good lesson from this film and it inspires hope while also leaving you grounded. So to summarize this is a very unique film, but I highly recommend it.
