I watched it tonight and confirmed its 10/10 status. Apart from a short bit of half-baked (but hilarious) courtroom drama, this movie oozes class, even in many of its scene transitions (which use ties of sound, color, shape, or theme).
Otis' pettiness and bullying turns to pure evil by the end, and C. Durning plays him to a turn. I can't think of an actor better suited for the part of Bubba than L. Drake.
I like how the mystery of the killer is kept under wraps till the very end, with no superfluous social commentary, epilogue, or bit-character nonsense to spoil its impact.
