Way too cliché

Rating: 6/10 (15 December 2013)

My major issue with 'Crazy Heart' it's the lack of creativity. The same overused story about 'a guy that was once a star in his job and is now in poverty'. And i consider lack of creativity a terrible crime. And the worst part of it is that you can predict what will happen next. As someone that already watched tons of films that explored the same subject used in that one, i simply became very bored and disappointed. It simply does not dare to show something new for the viewer.
The atmosphere and at all also didn't fit at all with the country at all. The art direction made this film way too dark. The ambient just became even more depressive than it already is.
The soundtrack is very weird, don't helps the fact that I'm not really a fan of that genre,but i must admit that Bridge's voice worked fine. His acting didn't do much for me, i've seen him done his acting better in other films.
The only thing that really did catch my attention was how the director implied well the sex scenes. A rare thing in the 'throw in the face' world we live nowadays. It leaves for your imagination, it don't needs to be vulgar. Other films should follow that example.
Anyways, i don't like it at all, it don't adds absolutely nothing to the table,but i wasn't so annoyed by watching it. So, a 6.5/10 is fair.
