Review of In the Electric Mist

Tommy Lee Jones stars in a murder mystery based on a novel by James Lee Burke. Its seems the bodies of young women are beginning to turn up all over the area. Meanwhile a big movie star discovers the skeletal remains of someone out in the bayou, an event which kicks up memories for cop Jones. This rambling tale is rather compelling once it gets going. I'm not too sure what the point of all of it all was (there are too many characters with too much dirt hidden in the unnamed past), but while it was on I was amused and entertained. Bertrand Tavernier supposedly has been cutting and re-cutting the film over the past couple of years, but I think whats on screen is an okay time filler and worth a rental
