Passes the time.

Tommy is always great to watch. The script ain't that exciting or special but the movie has an easy pace and is well played. They could have made in something more great, so in the end, it is a fine tima passer. Goodman did very well as bad guy by the way.

A really good cast especially for a straight toi dvd movie. But I can kind of see why it went that route. This was kind of a confusing movie with a lot going on. At times, with all the confusion, this movie really can move slow at times. It was alright, worth checking out.

I had never heard of this movie before watching it, I was pleasantly surprised. The story is different and keeps you guessing and Tommy Lee Jones gives an excellent performance. The rest of the cast is also very interesting.

A film with great atmosphere and inscrutable intentions. Its plot is so nebulous and misty that it initially appeared to be an ambitious exercise in the craft. A piece of cinematic dementia. But in the end it appears more likely that it was just horrifically edited.

Poorly edited and far too short, "in The Electric Mist" punches above its weight. It has a very solid plot on paper, but when crammed into just under 100 minutes it simply doesn't have time to breathe. There's just too much happening too fast for you to follow it. The overall plot is good and clever, and Tommy Lee Jones is a force, superbly leading a solid supporting cast. Sadly, they didn't get the screen time they deserved. It could have been something special, but it ended up just alright.

Very messy plot

Worth a watch

The scenes with Goodman & Jones together are great, the rest of the movie is okay as well if a little confusing at times. From what I understand the American version leaves out some pivotal scenes, so if you only saw that one I recommend tracking down the 117 min. version or reading the book.

Nothing wrong with a simple stoy. I'm a sucker for Tommy Lee Jones when he does his small-town Texas thing (Three Burials, NCFOM) and this one had a good atmosphere to it.

It felt like most of the movie depicted Tommy Lee Jones driving up to places and walking into buildings. I later found out the director had difficulty working with American editors - if you watch this movie, try to get your hands on the international version. I imagine you will enjoy it more.

Too many stories and characters fighting for attention. A curious film but still a bit of a mess.

The film adaptation of James Lee Burke's novel suffers from poor editing, making the story painfully hard to follow. Still, it packs some cool moments and a great cast led by Tommy Lee Jones.

Okay, I liked the way the cops killed, but the plot was Tommy Lee Jones being very Tommy Lee Jones. And that's not all bad but I've seen that in a lot of movies already.

Tommy Lee Jones is cool as always but most of the film is pretty generic and weak.
