A woman suspected of killing her husband runs off with his money to New Orleans. There, she falls in love with a man who also has a dark past. Together, they hatch a plan that will clear her name and leave with all the money. Review: Better Than It Would Seem To Be - The synopsis and DVD cover make this movie look dark and almost scary. But it's not. It's an odd love story. Perhaps I should say, quirky or unusual love story. Even kind of sweet. Neve Campbell gives a performance I never thought possible. And Billy Burke (Twilight, Revolution, The Closer) is charming in an offbeat way. Originally I bought this just because Billy Burke was in it but I really really like it. It's going to be on permanent rotation in my DVD collection. Review: Excellent suspense - Lots of twists and turns. Just when I thought I knew how it would end, it zigzagged off in another direction. Neve Campbell played a tragic but quirky heroine. Even without the excellent work by the other actors, Neve made the whole movie worthwhile.

Better Than It Would Seem To Be

Excellent suspense
Lots of twists and turns. Just when I thought I knew how it would end, it zigzagged off in another direction. Neve Campbell played a tragic but quirky heroine. Even without the excellent work by the other actors, Neve made the whole movie worthwhile.

Good Story
Right when you thought when the movie was going to end and leave you wondering what happened to Missy and Jimmy, it went on to an interesting ending.

Dill Scallion rides again!
This is a pleasant little film with an amiable cast. It's always fun to see Billy Burke in a starring role. You may think you know where this is going from the first view of the corpse in the trunk, but you'd probably be wrong. There's a touching side trip to Charleston, where Jimmy (Burke) faces down some old demons, even if the film never knows quite what to do with the Jake Busey character after this, and Neve Campbell is properly enigmatic as "the girl"--she's femme enough without being overly fatale. My favorite scene is when Dill, er, Billy, er, Jimmy sings along with a tape of Fred Neil on "Other Side of This Life." If you've never seen "Dill Scallion," it's a much better film than "Lost Junction," but this one is okay, an agreeable time-waster, if a bit more beige than noir. But that's fine too.

Only ordered because it has Billy Burke in it.
Certainly not the best movie on the planet by any means. But I love Billy Burke and anything he does, so That is my reason for purchase.

Boring drivel. I could write a better movie than this in about the time I wasted on it.
Unless you are a massive fan of the two losers that star in this you will hate it. The girl is moderately familiar (and not pretty) and the guy I have never heard of. Dumber than dumb and a major snooze fest. I'd say the total budget for this film was about $100,000. I just let it play in the background. Not interesting at all. And the accent, awful. A quick look at the Wikipedia article will give you an idea of the interest level in this piece of crap.

Lost Junction
This movie start's out with a twist and it stays there until the end. If you like Neve Campbell this is your movie, she is at her best. She plays a woman of mystery on a mission. Not great, but a good movie.

Not bad...
Fans of Neve Campbell will enjoy her in her role as Missy in Lost Junction. This movie wasn't bad, nor was it superd. Middle of the road I'd say, and I found it in the $5.50 bin at Wal-Mart so it's not like I wasted much on it. Lost Junction is a movie I certainly wouldn't mind watching again. Campbell as Missy stops and picks up a man who's car has broke down on the side of the road just outside her tiny everyone-knows-everyone town of Lost Junction and he gets sucked into the drama of her life. To say any more would really ruin an interesting movie. It kept me entertained the entire time I was watching it and I didn't expect the ending either. Great for killing some time or if you just want to veg out and watch something that's not too challenging. If you can find it for as cheap as I did or less, certainly worth a buy, otherwise try renting first.
