Bridges at his very best...

Rating: 9/10 (13 April 2010)

Based on the 1987 novel of the same name by Thomas Cobb, Scott Cooper's 'Crazy Heart' is a fantastic film, with Jeff Bridges delivering a knock-out performance from start to end. 'Crazy Heart' has it's heart at the right place, it's a take on a legend named Bad Blake.
'Crazy Heart' is amazing work, Cooper's direction is simply superb. T-Bone Burnett and Ryan Bingham pack in a soundtrack, that ranks amongst the finest Movie Soundtracks ever. 'The Weary Kiind' and 'Fallin and Flyin' are legendary songs, they got the Academy Award and hell ya, they deserved it!
Coming right away to the acting, Bridges, as mentioned, is the life 'Crazy Heart'. He's incredible in each dialog he delivers, every expression he emotes and every move he takes. I always loved him, and now I have become a devotee. He finally won the Academy-Award, which according to me, should have have won him for 'The Last Picture Show'. He's a legendary figure of Hollywood! Maggie Gyllenhaal also delivers a a very good performance. Colin Farrell, even though a cameo, he sinks his teeth into the character and brings it out like flying colors. Robert Duvall is efficient, as always.
'Crazy Heart' is a film that cannot be missed, highly recommended! Two Big Thumbs Up!
