IN THE ELECTRIC MIST

PROS
John Goodman as a Heavy
The Cast is pretty great
Tommy Lee Jones character
Civil War General Hood
Engaging story and performances
Backdrop of rebuilding Louisianna

CONS
Typical crime thriller

Final Analysis: This was a good crime thriller, with some interesting twists and turns, but never unfamiliar. The cast was pretty impressive, Tommy Lee Jones, John Goodman, Mary Steenburgen, Ned Beatty and pretty much recognizable supporting cast. I liked the “supernatural” guidance of General Hood to Tommy Lee Jones character in figuring out the mystery. Also John Goodman’s turn as a scumbag was great. I enjoyed this film and would recommend it if you are in the mood for a decent crime thriller..
