Plods along at a snail's pace and even though Reynolds has a bit of charm, nothing else really works including a thin plot and thinly written characters. It also feels the nearly two-hour running time. 1.5/5

Come and get him.
After his release from prison, notorious ex-con and moonshine distiller Gator McKlusky moves in with his father in a cabin in the Okefenokee Swamp. His bootlegging plans are cut short, however, when a federal agent tells McKlusky that he will lose custody of his 9-year-old daughter unless he helps bring down local crime lord Bama McCall. McKlusky enlists the help of reporter Aggie Maybank and a few local eccentrics to bring down McCall's empire.
