Quickie Review: Crazy Heart
by admin on Feb.09, 2010, under Film, Posts, Quickie Review
I know I’m behind the times on this one, but I finally got around to seeing Crazy Heart tonight. Great movie and deserving of all the accolades it’s receiving. Bridges is truly perfect as Bad Blake, looking something like a cross between Kris Kirstofferson and, well, The Dude.
Colin Farrell is also excellent in a smaller role as Tommy Sweet, the reigning country superstar that was mentored by Blake. It’s one of his most reserved performances by Farrell to date, not to mention showcasing a pretty good singing voice and his best American accent yet, even in song. Maggie Gyllenhaal, who’s an actress I can sometimes take and sometimes not, is reserved as well and her bond with Bridges feels natural.
For my money, anything short of an Oscar for Bridges would be a sin. I’d also call it the best movie of 2009.
Quickie Score: 9 (out of 10)
