simple story badly told

Rating: 2/10 (2 March 2013)

First off, I hate movie like these. By these I mean the type of movie shot like a bad documentary with disconnected scenes with a really thin story line. I like Jeff Bridges a lot and he is a really brilliant actor but it seems like he was placed in a scene without a script and told to act. I know this is not true but it seems like it was ad libbed for most of them. Therefore if it was scripted Bridges deserves an Oscar. But like that Mickey Rourke wrestling flick and some Ryan Gosling shyte about a school teacher it was just a group of disjointed scenes clubbed together to tell a simple story in an artsy-farty way. Actually this is not so much a review of Crazy Heart but of all these type of movies. You know the type. The actor getting on with his job but the drunk cameraman trying to keep his feet and occasionally failing as the camera fecks off somewhere else with the poor actor still doing his stuff. Lord Thunderin Jesus, come the feck on and end these documentary-style pieces of shyte and give us some decent stories to get involved in instead of looking for the sympathy vote from unsympathetic characters.
