An Oscar-worthy Film Masterpiece

Rating: 8/10 (4 May 2007)

Lately, Hollywood has spewed out so many pieces of movie junk that it's become very hard to wade through them all and find truly worthy films. "Walk the Line" is one of these films.
The Music: 10/10 The greatest Johnny and June Carter Cash songs were chosen for this film, and the singing is not only worthy, but fantastic. Reese Witherspoon's singing was especially shocking and fantastic.
The Acting: 8/10 Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Pheoix give Oscar-worthy performances, but the supporting cast is rather dull and un-talented for the most part.
The Length: 7/10 The film drags on a bit at times and starts off very slow. It could have been condensed into an even finer film than it is.
The Story: 8/10 It's very gripping for the most part, and ends appropriately. Perhaps a bit more focus on June Carter would have made it even better and a bit livelier.
Overall, "Walk the Line" has a good message, good acting, and good music. Even people who've never heard of Mr. Cash will love it.
