Review of Palmetto

Palmetto (1998)
4/10
Royally, remarkably awful
24 January 1999
Good lord, this is bad. The film starts with a very interesting premise, and a pretty good plot, and proceeds to smash it in to the ground over and over again by virtue of one of the worst hack job scripts of the past century. Elizabeth Shue also gives one of the worst acting performances ever. She seems to have been instructed by the director "Stick out your chest and breathe a lot. We'll get it done quick and you can go home." Woody Harrelson, as the lead, gives a decent Woody Harrelson performance. Although he can act, he chooses not to, getting by on his solid Woody-ness.
