black snake moan

is it well shot? yes
does it have a good soundtrack? yes
does it captivate you all the way through? yes
are the performances strong? yes (even justin timberlake)
is ricci hot? yes
does jackson say 'motherfukka' a lot? yes
is it original? yes
was it a pleasure to watch? not entirely...
...in the same way that cronenberg's 'crash' intrigues you, and holds your voyeuristic attention and then makes you feel a bit dirty inside. it looks and sounds brilliant, in fact the only real flaw was the predictable set-up with J.T. arriving in the house. bit sloppy that.

7/10
