Fantastic...

Rating: 10/10 (31 August 2010)

Based on the life of late country music artist Johnny Cash, 'Walk The Line' is a fantastic film, that easily ranks amongst the finest biopics to have hit the Silver-Screen. Biopics never seemed better.
Johnny Cash's life is hard to display on screen. James Mangold handles the biopic with utmost sincerity. The film never loses it's grip, it keeps you at the edge of the seat from start to end. Cash was a legendary figure and this is a legendary film in all respects!
The Soundtrack is a pure genius. One of the finest soundtracks, that take you back in time, and make you groove. The songs are simply rocking! Mangold is at his best over-here. The filmmaker makes an outstanding effort! Cinematography by Phedon Papamichael Jr, is appropriate. Michael McCusker's editing is good.
Johnny Cash comes alive on Screen with Joaquin Phoenix. Phoenix breaths Johnny Cash. He sings & delivers by becoming the late legend. This is one of THE finest performances of all-times. Reese Witherspoon as Cash's lady love, June Carter, is remarkable. She sings beautifully as well. Robert Patrick as Cash's dad is excellent. Ginnifer Goodwin as Viv, leaves a mark. Others are perfect.
On the whole, A must watch for each and every cinema lover. Two Big Enthusiastic Thumbs Up!
