Its unfortunate that such a lyrical and complicated creation
as Robicheaux should have been represented on screen by a
self-absorbed hambone like Baldwin. Worse, however, would be
handing Robicheaux off to Jones, an even more self-absorbed
actor who is an uncured, unsalted, 100%
straight-from-the-pig's-behind hambone. Someone with a little
artistic integrity should play Robicheaux, if he must be
played at all.
