Palmetto (1998)
6/10
good story, although the movie could have been better
4 April 2009
Volker Schlondorff's "Palmetto" has a very interesting plot, although I think that the movie could be better. Woody Harrelson plays an ex-con who gets drawn into a supposedly fake kidnapping in Florida. The movie contains a series of plot twists (I won't name them, lest I spoil the whole thing), but nothing gratuitous. You have to realize that this is not a bad movie; it's just that Schlondorff could have done a better job with it (especially towards the end). Overall, I do recommend it. You'll probably like it.

Also starring Elisabeth Shue, Gina Gershon, Michael Rapaport, Chloe Sevigny and Tom Wright.

Schlondorff also directed "The Tin Drum" and "Strajk - Die Heldin von Danzig".
