I appreciated this film for the way that it grabs a small part of the US and and doesn't portray the folks on the Bayou according to the 'whole town full of idiots' stereotype, but reveals the desperate lives that so many Americans lead outside of our bigger cities. The cast shows the depth of some great Black American actors who are unknown, but shouldn't be. I had the chance to view the film at my university with the law students who were analyzing the film for its legal/moral implications and the development of legal structures. A side note is that the guy that plays the really, really bad-guy in the film looked REALLY familiar to me, and then I realized that I work out with him at the gym. Hollywood really is a small town, sometimes.
