Great Acting, So-So movie

Rating: 5/10 (21 November 2005)

I saw this movie last night with my girlfriend. I am a Johnny Cash fan so this was a natural choice.
The movie does not develop very quickly. The movie as whole did not grab me and hold me until the end. To be honest, I was pretty much bored by the movie.
I applaud Joaquin Phoenix for an outstanding portrayal of Mr. Cash. He honestly sounded quite similar to the real thing.
The movie was just boring.
I gave it such a high rating because of Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. If I was rating purely on the entertainment level of the movie, I would probably give it a 3.
