Feb 20, 1998 · ''Palmetto'' is more like a first draft. Woody Harrelson stars as Harry Barber, a newspaper reporter who tried to expose corruption in the town of Palmetto and was framed and sent to prison. After two years his conviction is overturned, and he's released--by a judge who renders the verdict over closed-circuit TV.
In the same newspaper, Desson Howe felt the film "isn't so bad you'd want to roast it over the coals, but it ain't much good either". [6] The film holds a 39% rating on review site Rotten Tomatoes, based on 36 reviews.

Feb 20, 1998 · Featured review. THE modern film noir classic. This brilliantly-written film has everything a great film noir movie needs. First and foremost, the femme fatale Rhea Malroux, played with cunning accuracy by Elisabeth Shue, and the sucker who gets screwed over, Harry Barber, played by Woody Harrelson.

Movie has quite good twists and turns which are difficult to predict. Screenplay is written well but could be better. Woody has done great job but I feel Elizabeth was bit over acting. Direction is good. Overall movie has great neo noir feeling. I recommend this movie specially to neo noir lovers, they will not regret watch it.
