The Southern accents are good, and the acting is as good, but the overall story falls flat, probably because of time constraints. This is a star-studded cast: Kris Kristofferson, Dwight Yoakum, Hillary Duff, Val Kilmer, and a handful of others seen in this and that production through the decades. But there are far better movies about the South, so unless you like a mish-mosh of this story line and that plot, best skip this one and move on to something better.
