Great film, but Foxx nominated but won Best Actor for Ray not this

Rating: 9/10 (27 November 2007)

This is an entertaining film, there are many plot twists that are unpredictable. Cruise was really great as a villain, which is a nice change but a little awkward seeing him play the bad guy -- both cruel and compassionate at the same time. Foxx is just a great actor, in this film, his was nominated for Best Support Actor but did not win. Foxx won Best Actor Oscar award for a totally different movie --Ray, a mistake comment made by the reviewer from Lockport, NY.
A nice fact: Is only the second male in history to receive two acting Oscar nominations in the same year for two different movies. The first male to do so was Al Pacino.
Now that put Foxx in the spotlight, not only nominated for 2 in the same year, he won Best Actor Oscar for Ray. Foxx was so engrossed in his role, he BECAME Ray Charles, he blur the line between great acting and reality. I hope the guy from Lockport, NY can watch the movie Ray and then comment on whether Foxx should win Oscar or not. I have no doubt he would agree with me.
