I thought this movie was really boring the soundtrack moved it a long. But why someone would start a crime spree with a stranger who comes into town, she first sees as a pickpocket, to save a bar, is beyond me. There's the disagreement between 2 grown men over a woman that occurred decades ago. I was a part of a small town, there was some crime but this was stretching it. It's got the small town cliches that I just wasn't interested in. There was nothing new or exciting. I don't know what some consider action but I didn't think there was much in this movie. Ya, the characters were kind of likable but not worth watching this.

I think this movie was great!!! I loved the story line and the feeling of the movie... Everyone is doing wrong, but you're cheering for the one doing it for the right reasons... Definitely a movie I can watch more than once... I loved seeing the Natchitoches Christmas Festival of Lights in the movie especially since it is something my family has always enjoyed attending... The music was also fantastic and fit very well... the actors did a great job portraying the characters... the accents were on point and sometimes that's hard to get right for movies about the south... I definitely recommend giving The Dirty South a watch.

The film centers around Sue Parker (Willa Holland) who supplies us with first-person narration to let us know how a one-horse town operates. She works at the Point Place Marina on a lake in Louisiana. She runs the place and works for tips. Her dad Gary owns it. It is a drug user and this life is getting old fast. Turns out he is behind $30,000 in payments. They need the money in three days or else Jeb Roy (Dermot Mulroney) will buy it at auction. Jeb is the evil rich guy. He dislikes Gary because they he once dated his wife 30 years ago in High School. He doesn't want his son Mark (Andrew Vogel) to be involved with Sue whom he dated in High School before he left for 8 years at Princeton. Needing a lot of money fast in steps Dion (Shane West) from the subplot. Dion knows how to steal things. Sue is desperate and knows where all the goodies are in town. Things get all twisted.

Decent story. Decent acting. The soundtrack was good too. It was a slow burn that I felt never caught the fire it should have.
