But not only that, she is a good actress too.\u00a0 Her character in this movie was rather complicated, but she managed it just fine. Justin Timberlake pleasantly surprised too.\u00a0 I just recently watched a film with him, and he is so different here that I didn&#8217;t even recognize him until the closing titles.\u00a0 This guy too can act. And he seems to be picking up quite a lot of practice recently.\u00a0 Also, there were quite a few good supporting actors in the film, so that the whole thing felt like real, like they are indeed inhabitants of a small rural town.<\/p>\n<p>This film, although entertaining, is not purely entertainment.\u00a0 It feels like it was done, because the filmmaker had something to say, something to show. There are a few things to think about during and after the movie&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Overall, a really nice film.\u00a0 Strongly recommended for any fans of good acting, drama, and or blues music. <strong>8 out of 10<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- google_ad_section_start -->\n<p>I just watched a really powerful movie &#8211; &#8220;Black Snake Moan&#8220;.\u00a0 High quality, and I&#8217;m not talking about the DVD copy.
