Walk The Line (DVD)

PLEASE REMEMBER TO RATE THIS REVIEW

Before I went to see this movie, I was not expecting much due to hype. However, I was so wrong. Five minutes into it, I was hooked! The characters are so beautifully played and the story is so engrossing, I didn't want it to end. Joaquin Phoenix makes an excellent Johnny Cash, even getting his distinctive voice down to a t and Reese Witherspoon excels as June Carter and the chemistry between the two works perfectly. Perhaps the only fault is Tyler Hilton's unconvincing portrayal of Elvis, but that really is nitpicking. The film is honest yet thoroughly entertaining, romantic without being too sappy, very moving and ultimately suprisingly uplifting. This really is a stunning piece of cinema. If only all biopics were this good!
