I just finished watching In The Electric Mist, which is now available on DVD and Blu-Ray, based on the bestselling novel by James Lee Burke. In the Electric Mist features Tommy Lee Jones leading a talented cast through the Louisiana bayou and the New Orleans criminal underground investigating a series of horrific murders while uncovering long forgotten secrets of the prejudice south.
Jones plays veteran detective Dave Robicheaux, Dirty Harry hunts down a serial killer in the Deep South. Although the story line has obvious plot turns, I was engaged throughout the film. John Goodman is fun to watch as he plays a greasy, no-good-son-of-a…remarkably well. One of my favorite actresses, Mary Steenburgen, which we hardly ever see in films, effortlessly and smoothly plays Robicheaux’s wife, who draws out the kinder side of Jone’s character and you forget about Dirty Harry similarities.
