Review of Crazy Heart (2009) by Xcv V — 19 Jan 2011

Very well acted movie...

Jeff Bridges is as captivating as ever, and it's cool to finally see him play music on screen as he describes music as a very big passion to him and... yeah he is extremely captivating while doing it.

Maggie Gyllenhaal is charming on screen as always, however I am getting really tired of her playing these emotionally crippled or mentally ill character's all the time.

Overall the film is about Redemption, trying to build back a life on a lifetime of drinking and sorrow, and I kind of wish that the story was as interesting and well done as the characters, but sadly no your not gonna find it here, it's just solid performances and all alround good country music.

Final Verdict: Decent Acting, Decent strong Music, but half baked story, Crazy Heart I feel will not appeal to everyone, but to those who will enjoy it are in for a good time.
