Justified has often been described as Shakespearean, and it’s true that Elmore Leonard has a great deal in common with the Bard: big themes (love, death, loyalty, justice, family, etc.) and a reliance on dialogue to define characters and tell the story.

Justified: The Complete Third Season – Lines Will Be Crossed!
After the magnificent performance by Margo Martindale as Mags Bennett in season two, Justified could be excused if it slipped a bit in season three – but it didn’t.

I Am Number Four – A Little Romance, A Lot Of Action!
There are some producers whose stamp can be seen on a film regardless of who directed it [think Transformers – Steven Spielberg’s influence could be felt throughout, even above Michael Bay’s action sequences]. With I Am Number Four, it is Michael Bay’s influence that overrides D.J. Caruso’s direction in the final act – resulting in […]
Justified’s Timothy Olyphant Is A Straight Shooter!
FX’s hit, Justified [Tuesdays, 10/8C], features a classic hero – filtered through Elmore Leonard’s unique style – in Raylan Givens.
