My Review- 

This movie was a little too long, however this movie is really good soley based on Spacey's performance. He was just smooth as fuck in the movie, its like you want to like him even more in the movie, even though he's the sort of villain in the movie. I always heard this movie was really good and it was I just thought it was way to long for this time of movie and I thought it could have done with out a certain part of the storyline that did not work for me.  Other than that I loved how the movie took place in Georgia and hearing all the accents was really cool. What really got me about this movie is that it is based on a true story and I like those types of movies. I'm really surprised that the critics hated this movie I thought it would have a higher rating than it has right now. I think it should at least be a 60% but not a 47%, but hey it was there decision to make it that percentage. This movie had quite the cast of characters but that's what made the movie work. This was almost like any other legal drama, expect it was true and it involved voodoo which was different. I would recommend this movie but it is  a little too long, but Spacey is worth watching it he makes the movie what it is. I actually would like to read the book now after seeing the movie too see if anything is left out or if anything was added in the movie. As I said before this movie should be seeing because of Kevin Spacey, and his performance.
