Stacy Keach electrifies in this starling bIack comedy about an itinerant electrocutioner. It's 1918, and Jonas Candide travels the South with a portable eIectric chair. Offering up his services to various authorities at a price of $100 a jolt, the ex-Carney tends to his charges with his own brand of tender loving care. Dispensing his own phiIosophy and consoIation, he assures the prisoners that the Fields of Ambrosia await them on the other side of their ordeal. And then he throws the switch.
Jonas' Iife of IethaI Ioquacity becomes undone after he is contracted to bring his ministrations to a pair of sibIings and he finds himseIf drawn to one of them. Bud Cort also excels in this too rareIy seen dark jeweI of a film, playing Jonas' bumbIing assistant. |
