About
You may like this if you enjoy brooding Southern crime stories, morally worn-down heroes, and humid noir tension in the vein of One Good Cop; Not for you if you want a fast, tidy thriller.
Pros: moody bayou atmosphere; strong supporting cast; gritty mystery setup | Cons: slow pacing; hard-to-follow plot; uneven lead performance
