Review of In the Electric Mist (2009) by Daniel B — 16 Feb 2010
Synopsis: A dead hooker and a 40 year old corpse of an escaped prisoner are discovered and Tommy Lee Jones works to solve both seemingly unconnected cases.
PROS.
John Goodman as a Heavy.
The Cast is pretty great.
Tommy Lee Jones character.
Civil War General Hood.
Engaging story and performances.
Backdrop of rebuilding Louisianna.
CONS.
Typical crime thriller.
FINAL ANALYSIS.
This was a good crime thriller, with some interesting twists and turns, but never unfamiliar. The cast was pretty impressive, Tommy Lee Jones, John Goodman, Mary Steenburgen, Ned Beatty and pretty much recognizable supporting cast. I liked the "supernatural" guidance of General Hood to Tommy Lee Jones character in figuring out the mystery. Also John Goodman's turn as a scumbag was great. I enjoyed this film and would recommend it if you are in the mood for a decent crime thriller.
Worth a rent.
