*yawn* Good time warp, but ultimately unsatisfying

Rating: 6/10 (21 March 2006)

While being an excellent capture of the place and time of Cash and his early career, this unsympathetic look at the one-note character of Cash and his obsession with his wife to be makes for little character interest or development, and has little story beyond "this happened, then this happened, then this happened".
While the Folsom performance shows Phoenix NAILING the live Cash and letting rip some of the passion, the other music performances are weak in comparison. Not much happens in this film, and it takes a while to happen, too.
Not a film that will be remembered by many other than Cash fans.
