Great MovieI have been a fan of James Lee Burke for a very long time. I have read all of the Dave Robicheaux Novels and currently reading the newest one now. This movie is a great depiction of the series. Tommy Lee Jones played Dave perfectly. I have often had discussions with other movie fans about who in hollywood could best play Dave Robicheaux and after seeing Tommy Lee Jones in that part I can't imagine a better actor. The story was a good story and stuck to the book fairly well. Not a big fan of the Katrina references considering the book story was written long before Katrina ever formed a cloud. But hey it's modern movie, what can you do. Otherwise a great performace by all the actors and a good job sticking to the book which really captures the south of louisiana..Score: 5/5
DON'T DO IT!!!Don't do it! i thought it couldn't be too bad because of the actors. It was really slow with far to little story. the ending was an incredible let down... don't do it....Score: 1/5
How did this get the greenlight?Boo this movie, boo it!! I blame the director for this one. The whole thing just felt wrong. When Buddy Guy and Levon Helm are the most believable characters somethings probably not right..Score: 1/5
Loved itI think Tommy Lee is perfect for ole Dave... great music, Levon Helm is a great casting choice. Did this flick miss the theaters? I don't remember any promotion? It seemed like many of the actors were local and I think that is a good thing. It had a slightly amateur feel to it at times, but that in this case is a good thing. If I didn't know that John Sayles was only acting in this one, I'd of thought he'd been the Director. I' will watch it again some day. Makes me me wanna visit Louisiana. Thanks.Score: 5/5
The big easyA movie that captures New Orleans perfectly without serving the gambo thick. Perfect like a long and hot New Orleans summer afternoon. I wish every movie was cast this well with Tommy lee Jones' best performance and the best adaptation of James Burke's detective yet. Alec Baldwin was good but this was better..Score: 5/5

Love this Dave Robicheaux adaptationWonderful job at adapting one of my favorite Dave Robicheaux novels. Tommy Lee Jones is perfectly cast. Wish they would adapt more of the Robicheaux novels with TLJ as the lead!.Score: 5/5
Not if you're a fanThis is probably my favorite book by James Lee Burke, that, Tommy Lee Jones, and John Goodman had me feeling hopeful. I cant Speak for the whole movie, only made it about 1/3 of the way through it. The writing for the movie is fine, it attempts to follow the book as straight forward as possible, but every scene felt very rushed, and the support actors left a lot to be desired. The overall feeling of introspection, and the personal battles of Dave Robicheaux and his demons are completely lost. If you're a fan of the book, you'll probably be let down. Even if I wasn't, the support acting and directing would have killed it for me..Score: 1/5
