Again Twitch have some exciting news, this time in the form of a review sent in from an early screening of Walk the Line. The overview is…great.
Phoenix provides an endearing performance as Johnny Cash, nailing the mannerisms, charm and of course, that voice. Cash’s descent into addiction is handled with care, without ever desending into melodrama…
…The scenes on stage roar with vital energy…
…Walk the Line is a vibrant look at one of the most important song writers of our times, capturing the essence and youthful energy of the man and musician in his prime of his career. Succeeding as both a heart warming drama and an authentic character study, this should prove a pleasure to both Johnny Cash fans, and those less familiar, alike.
Sounds excellent, and after seeing those superb stills and stunning trailer, I think this is going to be a highly rated film with an utterly amazing performance from Pheonix. Oscar perhaps? We shall see, the role certainly suits.
