My 315th Review: Over-hyped: nice small film

Rating: 6/10 (16 February 2010)

Crazy Heart really doesn't stand a chance - so over-hyped it's almost possible not to get yourself for the performance of a lifetime.
Though good, there is nothing so good about Bridge's performance that takes your breath, heart, or much anything else away.
It is a good, competent performance - and I'm a fan. Thunderbolt and Lightning was the first R film I ever saw - but really here he's on point, but nothing as good as last year's performance by Rourke in The Wrestler.
As I say, nice film, good songs, lightweight plot and just not enough to leave this heart crazy.
More sleepy....
