Black Snake Moan mini-review - March 13, 2007 Cinema Digest Home BunRabs Home

Black Snake Moan

Three things:

  1. Well cast.
    Christina Ricci and Samuel L. Jackson are great actors and they give it their all.

  2. Stayed chained down.
    The trailer and billboards led me to think that I was going to see a movie about redemption or torture or commonality. It never went down any road that I could follow.

  3. Samuel L. Jackson needs to pass on “snake” based scripts.
    Although no slithery creatures appeared in this picture, this film stayed in a holding pattern.

I wanted to like this film, but it felt like it didn’t have a destination.
Miss it. It's worse than a carrot.
