walk the line - not

Rating: 1/10 (12 February 2006)

i just had a 3 hour movie inflicted on me - called "walk the line" .. a johnny cash biopic ..
while really well photographed, well acted and competently sung, after three hours you get up and leave the cinema, thinking: "there IS something missing here"
this movie leaves you without ANY emotional involvement - NONE whatsoever ... thats what is missing here ...
even if had just filmed the encyclopedia entry on johnny cash this would have had more emotional impact
so - unless your a die-hard, dyed in the wool, 100% hardcore johnny cash fan - don t walk the line
this is a showcase for the fact that it is not enough to have good actors - you also need a good story ..
