Scott Cooper directed this 2009 story of an alcoholic has been country singer who reassesses his life and relationships.Stars Jeff Bridges who is perfect as "Bad" Blake, a outlaw country legend reminding me of Kris Kristofferson, Waylon, or even Merle Travis. Maggie Gyllenthaal stars as a reporter who ultimately leads to Bad's salvation, despite their doomed love affair.
Great acting. Great music. Three quarter's of a truly great movie...the last third or so seemed too pat for me. But I highly reccommend it anyway.
Look for Robert Duvall in a warm, heartfelt cameo.
