Amazing.

Rating: 9/10 (3 November 2004)

Ray Charles is masterfully played by Jamie Foxx in this wonderful film directed by Taylor Hackford. After Proof of Life and The Devil's Advocate I have become quite a fan of Taylor Hackford's directing skills. I do not think that any other actor in Hollywood could play Ray Charles in the way that Jamie Foxx did. After his performance in Collateral he is shaping up to be an excellent actor, as long as he stays away from roles in films like Breakin' All The Rules. This film shows the true story of the life of one of the greatest musician's who has ever lived. I highly recommend this film to anyone who is looking for a true life story brought to film in this excellent way.
