Director: CLINT EASTWOOD
Genre: Adaptation, Crime, Thriller, Drama
Cast:Kevin Spacey, John Cusack, Alison eastwood, Jack Thompson
Duration: 2h 31m (app)

Clint Eastwood's 'Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil' falls far from both its theme (trying to out is itself a harduous job) and Script. Poorly shot! is the best way to put forth this movie that tries hard to focus on the balance of 'Good and Evil' in the soceity and how each remains untanned(i presume). but he fails in staying with the theme due to a lousy screenplay.

Kevin Spacey accused of Murder and John Cusack, a writer on a contract basis for dual purpose for the story/finding evidence to help Jim(Spacey) form the main cast. But not one stays in the heart even while watching the movie. An actor of Spacey's stature is very poorly portrayed due to the numerous holes in the Script. Cusack finds no benignness too.

The scenes referring to the eunuch 'Frank' is very irritating and the entire ramified stories in the movie tend to carry the whole film away from being good. A poorly conceived screenplay from a Novel by John Berendt (said to be based on his life). Finally the main crux of the movie is vague and obscure with numerous aspects contrived into a long 2 1/2 hrs of visuals.
