Country music lovers are going to enjoy this film even more

Rating: 7/10 (11 April 2010)

I personally ain't a fan of country music, but those that do like it will probably enjoy this film even more. The plot is pretty straight forward and doesn't really do anything that will grab your attention spontaneously. It's basically a story about always drunk country singer and how he deals with his downfall and has some romance in it as well. And to be honest the movie is a bit dry and boring at times, cause it doesn't have that great of a dialogue or hardly any drama with intensity. But what really made this film is Jeff Bridges's solid and captivating performance playing the musician Bad Blake, it's a shame that Maggie Gyllenhaal put on such a boring performance even if it's just her character. Also the score is pretty good if your into country and all, if you don't it still ain't that bad. It's a good movie with some great performances, but if your just not into dry and slow paced style, you probably won't enjoy this as much.
7.3/10
