It has a field day recycling private eye cliches while down in the bayou.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
It's not so much that the plot doesn't make sense - most good detective films don't "make sense" - but that you couldn't care less what happens to the people.

Rating: 3/4 --
This and a few other scenes are truly suspenseful, but for the most part the film is a synthetic, forced story peopled with some interesting characters and fine performances.
