Review of The Soloist (2009) by Mike W — 13 Feb 2012
Another well done film, based on a true story. Really well done role delivered by Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey Jr. in bringing themselves into real life characters. This movie speaks to art in every scene, and the love of music is obvious every step of the way. The characters weave their way into the plot through the relationship of Anthony Ayers ( Jamie Foxx ) and Steve Lopez ( Robert Downey Jr. ). If I had one critique it would be the pacing of the film. I think trying to edit in every character into the storyline, while keeping the tension between Ayers and Lopez was difficult in the edit and made for some odd pacing during the film.
The performances and the sense the passion for music is amazing and highly recommend it if even just for that.
