Review of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997) by Mike T — 10 Mar 2010
I really don't think this film is as horrible as a lot of people make it out to be, but it's definitely far from being perfect. It is pretty sloppy stuff, both in terms of Eastwood's direction and the endless screenplay.
It never seems to find its focus, and its constant shifts in tone are confusing and eventually frustrating. It did, however, keep my attention for the most part and I was able to enjoy certain aspects despite all of its flaws.
The always-brilliant Kevin Spacey turns in another performance that flaunts his ability, and John Cusack's acting is strong as well. A not-yet-famous Jude Law also makes a big impact in his limited screen time.
