Walk the Line (2005)
Directed by James
Mangold this biopic stars Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon,
Ginnifer Goodwin and Robert Patrick. Country music star Johnny Cash
leads a troubled life with strained relations and drug addiction.
I am sure for fans of
the music of Cash the highlight of this film is the performance of
the two leads who by all accounts give excellent impersonations of
their real life counter parts. As with any biopic there are questions
over the accuracy of the film and the depth in which it covers all
the issues, here for example Cash's recovery from drug addiction does
not really get enough screen time. While there is nothing wrong with
this film it will no doubt have a greater appeal to Cash fans than
the rest of us.
3/5
