Reviewing Movies

Justified is a guilty pleasure. Backwoods Kentucky Hicks specialize in brewing shine and growing pot along with dispensing harder drugs. Raylan Givens, the US Marshall with the quick gun hand would have grown up here. The sophistication of the crime belies its humble setting. Even the most dire warnings are couched in polite terms and said with a smile. It is good to see a series concluded before the writers run out of fresh ideas.

I am not a particularly a fan of crime dramas, the attraction here is great writing and superb acting. Timothy Oliphant stands tall and nonchalant no matter what the circumstance. The ensemble cast that surrounds him are equally good actors. The DVD version contains subtitles but only one 5 minute extra, just the 15 episodes that bring the show to its close.
