Trivia:
Any time Dave sees or speaks to Lou Girard, it is night time. moreGoofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When the Civil War General speaks to Dave and introduces himself he announces his unit affiliation as "Calvary". That is the name of the hill Jesus of Nazareth was crucified on. The name of the horse-mounted military unit is Cavalry. moreQuotes:
[first Lines]Dave Robicheaux: My name's Dave Robicheaux. I'm an alcoholic. Sometimes I'm tempted to have a drink. But I never do.

Tommy Lee Jones is pretty much the mental image I have had for Dave Robicheaux ever since I started reading Burke's novels.
SWMBO and I were in New Iberia about two months ago, and it was interesting to see places in the movie I had just been. The trip itself really did wonders for filling the blanks in my imagination, so the movie was a "two-fer", so to speak.
The only thing that this movie really needed was for Tommy Lee to do a good Cajun accent.
Apart from that, it's a good adaptation of the novel. The scenes that were cut, for the most part, did not hinder the flow of the movie and Tommy Lee brings Dave to life in a very nice way.
