From member Brandon Fibb:
Crazy Heart arrives at a theater near you polished to a high gloss with the gushing accolades of critics and industry insiders. Some of these honors the film most certainly deserves. Others it does not. It is true that Crazy Heart contains one of the best performances by an actor this year. But the film itself, while showcasing Jeff Bridges’ considerable talents, is mostly forgettable, yet another story of middle-age redemption, much like last year’s grittier The Wrestler.
Bridges plays Bad Blake (channeling a little bit Willie Nelson, a little bit Kris Kristofferson), a washed up, alcoholic country singer who was great once but hit an artistic brick wall years ago that he never got beyond.
