Good story, Not enough for a whole film

This film tells the story of a man who is just released from jail in a small town. Though he promises to his mother that he will not mix with dubious peers and get into trouble with the law again, old habits die hard and things quickly spirals out of control.That is what I think the story is about anyway. I find the plot very boring, and it is poorly told. What is the point of seemingly random interviews with people who are not related to the story such as the dancer with crooked teeth, and the very thin man with a tattoo on his abdomen? They do not form a part of the story, and I don't see why they are shown in the film. The plot is not engaging or thrilling either. I do not care about the characters, even though they are seemingly in mild danger. I find this film boring and less than engaging.

Without a doubt, one of the subtlest, most real and visceral movies of the century. This film kicked my butt down the block. The dialog is genius, the acting is genius, the cinematography is genius.A new dimension in cinema realism that echoes the revolutionary Italian neo-realism of the late 1940's. There is no proscenium with this film, no sense of stage. The story line is a baseball bat between the eyes. Meanwhile it sets a new standard, a new aesthetic.For a "bad boy making good" film, it is low key, but an intense low key. No exploitation of paranoia. No textbook suspense tricks. No sense that the actors are acting. No need to suspend disbelief. The honesty of this film could earn a place at the Dogme 95 end of the spectrum. I'll be looking for Bedford's future work.

I really enjoyed Dixieland! It's the kind of movie that keeps getting better the deeper into the story you go and it will leave you wanting to watch until the very end! The love story between the two main characters (Kermit and Rachel) happens fairly fast, but that's how it goes in a small town. It's evident that Kermit has a big heart and wants to do what's right, but with his past history's and current situation not being ideal, it's hard for him to keep out of trouble. This is were a lot of authenticity of the movie comes in. Overall I would highly recommend this movie! Side note: Faith Hill was a great addition to this cast! She has some great acting skills!

When I watched this movie, I couldn't help but observe the romance in it. It's a very easy film to follow. Less crime, more drama. There's a quote that outlined: There comes a moment in your life when you have to decide whether you wanna sink or swim. This film is all about that.It's very touching and beautiful. People who love crime love stories, would love this one too. Actress Riley Keough proved to be one the most talented actresses. She was brave to play her role of this silent and troubled character who had it very difficult. When it comes to the actor Chris Zylka, I can say that it was his first movie I watched. He played his role of this tough guy terrificuly. He knew about his character and I guess that's the reason he was so good at playing him. There's less action, more dialogues. One more thing I liked about this film was the message it carried. I highly recommend this film for mature audience.
