Yesterday, I ran an interview with Elmore Leonard about why FX's "Justified" is one of the few adaptations of his work that he's happy with (and talks a lot of trash about the ones that displeased him). Today, I have a review of why I like the show:
"I want you to understand: I don’t pull my sidearm unless I’m gonna shoot to kill," Givens tells an opponent.
Later, he puts it in even simpler terms: "You make me pull, I put you down."
You can read the "Justified" review here. I'll have a separate post up tonight at 11:11 p.m. (FX pilots often tend to have weird running times) with some more specific thoughts on the pilot.
