Davis P Black Snake Moan (2006) is a very interesting movie, it's one of a kind. It has an A list Hollywood cast. Veteran actor Samuel L Jackson, child star Christina Ricci, and singer Justin Timberlake. The actors are well cast and I think they all did a pretty good job with their individual roles. Jackson plays a man who's wife has left him for another man. And Christina Ricci plays a sexually abused women who's boyfriend (Justin Timberlake) has left for the military. Ricci's character is left beaten and bruised on the side of the road, and Jackson's character finds her and brings her into his house to care for her. Then that is when the movie really takes off. The movie executes its plot in a way that gives depth to all the characters, so that is good, but there are times where you aren't sure how to feel about certain characters and there are moments that feel kind of awkward. Luckily those times aren't rampant throughout the film, but they are there. Overall, the movie isn't one I would 100% recommend to any and everyone, but I liked the connections made between the characters. This movie is probably worth watching just once just for the connections and deep characters. 7/10.

Ian (Flash Review)The main story intent was overshadowed by the unbelievable and sensational nature of how the story played out. The story revolves around a man finding an abused girl by the side of the road in the Tennessee back country. Beyond her recent beating, she has serious issues. The man feeling compelled to help her…you could say fully takes it on…very sensationally. In what could have otherwise been an uplifting tale just ends up getting twisted on itself in strange ways. The man is working through his own issues so the pair sort of try to lift each other up for the better. Whatever hope the director intended to get at never gets passed onto the viewer. Good acting but Timberlake's character wasn't properly developed. Bizarre movie. Avoid.

janetvonnik This is the kind of movie where a man shows a woman how to act like a woman. The problem here is that it somehow assumes that a male chaining up a woman is anything other than a form of abuse. WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA? I could not even watch the full movie because I was so annoyed. As a rape victim, this disgusted me. It is never OK to treat a woman like this.This movie guises itself as a coming of age drama, but really, It was just meant for men to get off on. I see no other usage for this film than sexual fantasy fodder, and affirmation that women need men. Even worse this is his spiritual duty. It's some crazy Christian propaganda. Women's sexual freedom bad!! SINFUL!! Male dominance good, control that nasty out of control WOMAN!! Wear the clothes I THINK are appropriate, Act the way I think is appropriate. This is a movie constructed from gibberish with no moral other than "BEHAVE WOMAN!"

ArT_of_InSaNiTy Sitting about bored i decided to search Netflix for a film and whilst scrolling along the title "Black Snake Moan" caught my eye. I had seen this film when it was released, but as i was younger it didn't invoke as much interest as it did now. This film is sensational. The story is riveting and what can be said about Samuel L Jackson and Christina Ricci? Both knocking it out of the park; completely in sync with each other....in sync....N SYNC!!!!! Which brings me to Justin bloody Timberlake.This guy is a scene sucking, drama devouring waste of space. I just cannot comprehend why, why any director would sacrifice the overall brilliance of a film by casting someone because of their success in another field of entertainment. He is a singer!!!! Not an actor. He is terrible. Every "emotion" he extracts shows this obvious desperation and it is a punch to the face of the viewer. Watching two powerhouse performances and then a little cretin coming onto scene and destroying the credibility that was once soaring to great heights. Brought back down to earth with a FUD. By the end of the film i was trying to hold onto all the great moments in the film; Jackson's soulful music, Ricci's captivating cry for help. But at the back of mind is this little sting, a prick if you will, that because of a certain somebody the film feels tainted.Damn you Timberlake, i hate you.
