Newspaper reporter Harry Barber has just come home to Palmetto - a sleepy seaside Florida village that has long attracted trouble. Harry is fresh out of prison-his reward for trying to do the right thing in a chronically corrupt town.

Movie Review

Palmetto is not the most original film out there, nor is it the greatest to watch, but it isn't that big of a let down, either. Going into the movie, I didn't know what the hell it was about. All I knew was that Woody Harrelson, Elisabeth Shue, and Gina Gershon were in it. Well, I was write on that account, but there was more to Palmetto than just a strange sex thriller, which the previews implied (it was a while ago, so maybe I'm mistaken). Full movie review »
