Movie Review: Crazy Heart

In CRAZY HEART, Jeff Bridges (Iron Man, Tron) is Bad Blake, a hard core country artist on the downside of fifty. His last original song was over seven years ago and his prodigy (Colin Farrell) who he mentored into a serious musician, is now busting out of Nashville and playing the big arenas. Meanwhile, Blake is relegated to small clubs, bars and bowling alleys. Bad Blake is a little bitter that country music has left him behind, but everyone reminds him that he still has the goods, he just needs to focus and write some new material.

MOVIE CLIP: Watch Jeff Bridges Sing

As well as Jeff Bridges, Colin Farrell (S.W.A.T., Daredevil, Miami Vice) also does his own signing in this film. He would fit in perfectly in the country music world. He has the look, the persona, and the humble country attitude. Robert Duvall (The Godfather: Part II, Tender Mercies) plays a bar owner friend, and T-Bone Burnet provides provides plenty of original country music. Country Music is about life, love and loss, and Bad Blake has seen it all. Jeff Bridges proves that he’s seen things, too.
