My Review:
There's more to dislike than to like about this movie. But the idea is so over the top, simultaneously fulfilling and parodying the noir genre, it's amusingly unique.
I liked the role Mississippi Delta blues plays in the movie.
I also like that it illustrates how victims of abuse, in effort to regain control, often embrace their abuse.
Addiction is an ugly thing. And while extreme measures are usually needed to break it, being chained in someone else's house, probably isn't very effective in reality.
The movie hinted at how Jesus is the source of redemption, but should have focused on it more.

- ...I wanted to tell you about that.
- God put you in my path, and I aim to cure you of your wickedness.
- Get your ass back in my house!
- Now I done made up my mind on this and I ain’t going to be moved.
