But you will never know it. I love Ron Perlman. Everything he is in, even if the movie itself isn't great, I always like his performance. This even stretches that appreciation a bit thin. There was so much potential here. Everything started out so compelling and I was so eager to find out where these interesting characters were going to go and what was motivating them. Then it all just...fell apart. I am not really even sure when it happened. Maybe when Jim (the devil?) was "killing" Martin? Maybe when Mr. D's thugs were threatening Bubba after the killing was supposed to have taken place? Regardless, I was left feeling lost and disappointed at the end of this film. Too many unanswered questions and not enough follow through with the promises of the first half of the movie. I am giving it 5 stars only because I really did love Ron Perlman/Jim/the devil. Something about his acting made even this plodding picture barely bearable.
