A long movie that moves too fast

Rating: 6/10 (12 March 2006)

I hope that title makes sense. This movie is long, but the movie also seems to jump too quickly from year-to-year. This movie is decent. Not great, not bad, decent. I felt the movie understated Johnny Cash's stardom and made it feel more like a guy who was constantly struggling to break out. I also felt as if Johnny Cash was some little boy chasing an OLD woman the whole time and that was kind of distracting. The actors were good. Phoenix is probably a little overrated as Johnny Cash, Reese Witherspoon is great as June Carter Cash, and whoever played Jerry Lee Lewis was really good. He's not a main part of the movie, but the acting of the man who played Lewis really stuck out to me.
Overall rating: 6.8/10
