“Josie” (** out of four) was a languid drama set in Florida about the relationship between a gruff former prison guard (Dylan McDermott), a town local (Jack Kilmer), and a sultry vixen (Sophie Turner) who is new to town but it turns out they have various relations from the past which will affect their futures. Plodding story seems to be building and holds you with its steamy atmosphere and acting but end result isn’t satisfying with a final plot twist that’s pretty obvious. Story is also more-than-a-little derivative of “Body Heat”, right down to the Florida locale. A first-rate showcase for Turner, if nothing else, who is terrific and makes this watching at least for a little while.
