Justified Season 1

ON DVD



Old-school U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens is reassigned from Miami to his childhood home in the poor, rural coal-mining towns in Eastern Kentucky.

Cast:

Timothy Olyphant - Raylan Givens
Natalie Zea - Winona Hawkins
Nick Searcy - Chief Deputy Art Mullen
Jacob Pitts - Tim Gutterson
Erica Tazel - Rachel Brooks
Joelle Carter - Ava Crowder
Walton Goggins - Boyd Crowder

REVIEW:

Timothy Olyphant just oozes cool in this Leonard Elmore adaptation, it’s adapted from his short story “Fire in the Hole”. Olyphant is incredibly comfortable in the role of Givens and his slightly crazed stare fit perfectly here. The character rich locale is populated by all sorts of country folks who range from the clichéd to surprisingly deep. Walton Goggins delivers standout work as the conflicted Boyd Crowder. Character actors abound here and they all deliver fine work. A few of the episodes teeter on the edge of corniness but nothing terribly distracting.

B+
