    Angela Bassett stars in this powerful drama set in the Deep South in the early '60s. Ruby Delacroix (Bassett) operates a rough-and-tumble night spot in Louisiana. Between running her business, raising a teenage daughter, and trying to keep tabs on her unfaithful husband, Ruby's life hardly needs any more excitement. However, temptation presents itself in the form of Billy (Kevin Anderson), a white singer who is booked into the club. Ruby and Billy fall into a passionate affair, which proves to be a dangerous thing in the desegregated South. Produced for the Showtime premium cable network, Ruby's Bucket of Blood also features Glenn Plummer, Brian Stokes Mitchell, and Jurnee Smollett. Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

    March 23, 2003: Angela Bassett is one of my favorite actresses and one of the most talented today. The film was well-acted and the script very tight. There was great chemistry between Ms. Bassett and Kevin Anderson. The title of the film certainly catches your attention. I would recommend this film for those who are interested in a well-acted, powerful and thought-provoking film.

    September 10, 2002: The acting was convincing, all around. The music was compelling, and the movie tackled sensitive issues which I do remember well from being stationed at a USAF base in mid-1960's Dixie.
