So, I've had the same NetFlix movie for 3 months and finally watched it. It was disappointing. Walk the Line is the Johnny Cash story, which has three major story plots (he became a singer, overcame an addiction to pills, and married June Carter). That's not much to base a feature-length film on. [dangling participle!] I was hoping it would be as good as I heard. I had heard some favorable comparisons to the recent Ray Charles movie before seeing it. Ray is a similar movie, as far as the plot is concerned. The amazing thing about Ray was Jamie Foxx's performance. Joaquin Phoenix does not sing like Johnny Cash. I wonder if anybody actually can.
