Review
Snapshot Brilliant acting by Jeff Bridges and some solid performances by others hold up a movie that has an incoherent low intensity albeit realistic story. The score of the movie (which is mostly country music) is also pretty good.
Highlights from the plot Ȭrazy Heart" is not your average motivational movie with strong dialogue and high intensity drama. It follows a sober and a rather unusual romantic story. The story is loosely knit by a few incidents that follow the life of a very talented country musician who is also a raging alcoholic and a chain smoker. On one hand the lack of grandiose drama makes the story more plausible and real but at the same time some may feel that its devoid of depth or intensity.
What's Good Witty humor (its pretty funny) The acting is top notch especially Jeff Bridges The score is good (especially if you like country music) The treatment given to the story is fresh in some ways
What's Bad The story does not SEEM to go in any particular direction. The pace is also a tad slow. The chemistry between Jeff & Maggie is kinda offbeat
Who should watch it People who really appreciate character development and who expect multi dimensional characters etc. (Jeff Bridges character might be a treat for such folks) folks who expect a good score
Who should avoid it Anyone who seeks out some high tension drama powerful dialogue and a fast paced story should stay away from this one.
