Tommy Lee Jones as you rarely see him in films... In a vulnerable role. He plays a released prisoner who returns home after many years in prison for a murder he never actually committed. His 15-year-old daughter Jonesy, who lives with her grandmother along the Mississippi, gradually gets to know the man who is her father. At first you think it's going to be quite sentimental, but another adventurous crime story emerges when Billy's past comes back to haunt him in the person of Doc Cole.
Not bad as a snack, with a pleasant pacing, and sometimes beautiful images of the Mississippi, this is quite a pleasant viewing for young and old. A nice film that I could definitely watch again...
