Avoid At All Costs

Rating: 1/10 (26 June 2013)

Scott Cooper makes his directorial debut with Crazy Heart, a movie about a faded country music musician. If there was any justice in this world, Crazy Heart would be his last job involving the movie industry.
Not only does this movie bore the audience, but it pains the audience to the point where everybody in the audience would be willing to take part in a mass suicide.
When the casts consists of former stars such as Jeff Bridges and Robert Duvall along with the always inconsistent Maggie Gyllenhaal and Colin Farrell, you know the movie will be mediocre at best.
Where the movie really fails at besides the questionable acting would be the cliché ridden plot, which is simple at best. Characters merely show up to advance the plot and offer no depth. And what should have been the highlight of this movie, the music, is stale and poorly performed.
To put it lightly, I'd rather cut off my manhood and proceed to shove it down my throat until I begin choking and eventually die. At least then I wouldn't have to endure the pain of watching this movie again.
