Great representation of a true legend

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2006)

Just seen the film and as a Johnny Cash fan I thought it was excellent, Phoenix was perfectly cast as Cash and from the moment he steps on stage he actually becomes him right down to his mannerisms. All in all a beautifully scripted, shot and produced movie with a kick ass sound to it all. Casting in bios is everything and this one hits it right on the button!In my opinion both Phoenix and Witherspoon deserves Oscars for their roles but while Witherspoon is a nailed on favourite, Phoenix getting overlooked is a shameful possibility.But this is sure to elevate both actors career.Brilliant protrail of a true music legend who will now be remembered in fitting fashion on the big screen
