A stunning debut, Thorton's quiet and moving story is just as sincere as its lead character.5 minutes into Sling Blade there's a scene that draws me in; The main character sits cloaked in shadows and slowly describes in detail how he murdered two people.

Not only is the sequence beautifully composed, I couldn't find a trace of the now well known Billy Bob Thorton anywhere in his performance 5 minutes into Sling Blade there's a scene that draws me in; The main character sits cloaked in shadows and slowly describes in detail how he murdered two people.
