A sort of cross between The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Pip and the convict (Great Expectations); this Southern gothic suspense tale is one of the summer's most satisfying movies. Matthew McConaughey is a revelation. Here, he displays acting chops of Oscar calibre. The young lads playing Ellis and Neckbone are fantastic. Kudos to the director for coaxing great performances from a strong cast. So, we have a marvellous script and good characters and that is all you need for a fine flick.
