I've seen that before

Rating: 7/10 (29 January 2006)

Johnny Cash's story is unique, or is it? Country boy goes to the big city and then follow fame, money, sex, drugs and the obligatory decline, but finally love overcomes all obstacles.
Yes it's well shot, yes the leads are good, care has been taken to the minute detail in the technical department, but, well, you just know it's gonna flow like this. And mind you, not being from the States, I haven't had a clue about JC's life beforehand. It just seemed to follow the recipe.
Now I know a lot of people expect exactly that from a biopic. It generally won't let you down, so it makes a good rental, but there's nothing ground-breaking in there.
