Hats Off To Mr.Mangold

Rating: 8/10 (26 March 2008)

I didn't know what to expect whilst buying this movie in my local media shop. I made my decision entirely upon the critics making a fuss of this 'movie epic', not knowing what to expect i decided to take a chance not expecting much greatness.However I was blown away by this touching, personal and painful portrait of Johnny Cash's life. He is a musician i know little about and have been recommended by many others but never have been adventurous enough to buy his LPs And CDs. With fantastic performances from both Joaquin Pheonix and Reese Witherspoon, Walk The Line was brought to life. Telling the tale of his life starting on a cotton farm in Arkansas to worldwide fame. Through love, through pain, through the music Walk The Line is a sure winner for all.
