Authentic slice of Cajun life with a great story November 15, 2008
This film made you care about the characters it portrayed and made the world they live in come to life on screen. No histrionics, nothing over the top, just good solid story telling. Very enjoyable.
 Entertaining September 24, 2008
As a born and bred Cajun it is difficult to fine movies and books that TRULY portray us as intelligent, modern human beings.
This movie did a better job than most, although it would have worked better set in long-ago days.
However, the plot had all the elements of a good story - interesting characters, satisfying ending.
I especially liked the dedication. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina,the victims of Hurricane Rita (and now Ike) were all but overlooked.

Not Just For Cajuns September 22, 2008
I only gave it 3 stars because so much of it was predictable. The ending was a welcome surprise that more than made up for it though. Jonathan Shcech is more than exercising his acting chops. Seems he has decided to become a character actor instead of a "pretty face" who can act. Job well done. The relationship between Schech's character Bo and his brother Peboan was touching and done very well. One of the things I love about low budget "regional" films like this is they tend to concentrate on the characters more than the action, murders and sometimes even the story. Several characters were sympathetic, like Bo's best friend and the hooker , who fell for Peboan. Some of the stroy is a redo, but it was done very well. But the ending made up for any deficiencies. I really give it a 3.5 stars. Worth the money.

I am from Southwest Louisiana where most of this movie was filmed. I bought this movie for my husbands Grandmother. She absolutly LOVED this movie. The only thing is the accents were alitte off. Over all the movie has was very good.
Parts of it filmed in my hometown & on waterways I have fished. August 13, 2008
