This is incredibly un-Clint-Eastwood, despite his directing it. On the other hand, this is an incredible film.
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil features John Kelso (John Cusack), a writer for Wine & Country Magazine from New York who has come to Savannah, Georgia to cover one of the wealthy Jim Williams' (Kevin Spacey) famous Christmas parties. But, when tragedy strikes, Kelso's purpose in Savannah changes.
This is an incredible performance both by Cusack, who plays the role of the skeptical journalist very well, and Spacey, who incredibly accurately captures the warm regality of the southern upper-class. His Georgia accent is nice too.
The film is an intriguing blend of criminal trial and cultural exploration, and it definitely demonstrates Eastwood's depth.
