Readers will surely miss the rich atmosphere and societal detail that Berendt brought to his "Savannah story," and the movie can only scratch the surface of Georgian history, tradition, and wealthy decadence underlying Berendt's fact-based murder mystery. Still, Eastwood maintains an assured focus on the wonderful eccentrics of Savannah, most notably a gay Savannah antiques dealer (superbly played by Kevin Spacey), who may or may not have killed his friend and alleged lover (Jude Law). John Cusack plays the Town & Country journalist who arrives in Savannah to find much more than he bargained for--including the city's legendary drag queen Lady Chablis (playing "herself")--and John Lee Hancock's smoothly adapted screenplay succeeds in bringing Berendt's characters vividly to life with plenty of flavorful dialogue. In similar fashion to Warner's acclaimed DVD of L.A. Confidential, this classy DVD includes a behind-the-scenes documentary titled The Real People in the Garden and an interactive map tour of Savannah and its most celebrated (or notorious) citizens. The original theatrical trailer is also included. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great movie!This movie is great. It is entertaining, exciting, and full of "suspense" in that it keeps you guessing. At the same time, it has a few "holes" in it whereas it remains unclear the exact purpose of some of the characters, the "squirrel lady" in particular. I am hoping that the book lends more insight into this significant character. It does encourage me to read the book. I feel that the movie slights her real interaction with the overall plot. For that reason, I give this movie a four-star rating ...

A fave forever. Rating: - Quirky But Good!I really enjoyed the movie - as much for the location as for the story. It's set in historic Savannah and well worth watching on a rainy day. Rating: - Just fabulous!I have only positive things to say about this movie. All the performances were sublime and if you are a Kevin Spacey fan, you will love it. In my opinions, he gave one of his best performances in this movie. It's got it's funny parts and serious parts and makes the greatest combination for a fantastic movie. Rating:  - Clint Could have done betterThe book was amazing in its grasp onto the culture, the way the charactors play out so on and so fourth. The movie though seemed to race through the book...take the time to make the movie as good as the book if it takes an extra hour or two of movie then do it...don't make a rushed adaptation doesn't fly...now mind you the movie is something to watch and no wheres near as bad as Stephen King's movie adaptation of Tommyknockers...but it could have been much better Browse for similar items by category:
