BLACK SNAKE MOAN

Despite the obvious Tarantino influence...this film is a true original. Craig Brewer's first film was the brilliant HUSTLE & FLOW (which should have earned a Best Picture nomination) and for his follow-up feature he chooses an even more ambitious project. BLACK SNAKE MOAN features two of the year's most dynamic performances (although I'm sure they'll be overlooked come awards time) by Christini Ricci and Samuel Jackson. Justin Timberlake also gives a fine performance in a supporting role. I won't reveal anything about the plot...I'll just say when you're in the mood for an original, exciting, sexy, blistering film...go rent BLACK SNAKE MOAN. 4 of 5 hs
