Title: Read the Book
Product review: In the Electric Mist With Conferate Dead was the first novel I had ever read by James Lee Burke and I immediately became a fan. When I heard that a movie version was in production and starring Tommy Lee Jones as Burke's protagonist Dave Roubiceaux, I assumed that it would be a box office hit and a classic movie. Not so. The fact that it was released directly to DVD surprised me but curiousity made me go ahead and buy it through Amazon. Unless you've read the book first, save your money. I found this movie to be a confusing mess of a great novel. Burke's writing is poetic but you'd never guess it by watching this movie. A major disappointment.
