Directing and set design are top-hat, some impressive tension-building, even by Hitchcock's standards. I'm glad he moved past it but there's some unique charm to his early work that he never fully replicated. Good script here too, though the second half is much less exciting. Everything about the windmill sequence is perfect.
I don't know what it is about UGK: I get so excited when I hear individual songs but I get bored so quickly listening to their albums. Maybe they're just not good music for the car. I think I liked this a little less than Ridin' Dirty but I don't remember much of either of them.
Much like his Firm predecessor Cormega, I had huge hopes based on his guest verses, but his solo album is awful. I think the biggest problem is the beats, but even if they didn't all suck I can hardly imagine less inspired rapping.
