Before last night I'd never heard of this movieit was really late, I couldn't sleep, and I was going through the HBO channels and saw this movie coming onI hit info and seen that Christopher Walken and Johnny Depp were in it. That immediatly drew me in. Two of my favorite actors in a movie together and I never knew they worked together(I never really cared for Johnny Depp till after Donnie Brasco which was released a year after this.) That being said, I started watching and knew I was going to be awake for at least another 90 min. The story was very clever, and also the twist really blew me away(talking about the govenors husband being in on it.) The acting from the leads was amazing, Depp and Walken were very good together. No one plays an bad guy like Walken, and even though you might hate his character so much, you still can't help but respect him. As for Depp, excellent performance. The emotion he gives through the whole movie really draws you in and makes you wish you could be there to help him yourself.
All in all a very, very good movie. I thought maybe it could've ended a little better. I mean the movie really didn't explain who the old man was with the govenors husband and he's the last person you see in the movie driving off like he really had something invested but there was really no explanation.
Other than that.7/10 -

Too bad you just heard of it. I saw it in the theater back in 1995 and it instantly became one of my all-time favorites. I truly don't understand why it's not more popular. It should have at least become a cult classic when it was released on video, the same way "Shawshank Redemption" is today.
