Crazy Heart

Jeff Bridges (Bad Blake)

Maggie Gyllenhaal (Jean Craddock)

Robert Duvall (Wayne)

Colin Farrell (Tommy Sweet)

Setting: Present Day

Crazy Heart is the story of a burned out country singer (Jeff Bridges). He plays in the worst dives, and he is an alcoholic who smokes like a chimney. One day, he meets a reporter (Maggie Gyllenhaal) who does a story on him. She falls in love with him, but he disappoints her. He loses her young son one day while he is taking care of him. He reaches bottom, and decides check in to an alcohol rehabilitation program. He gets better, and decides to write some songs for Tommy Sweet (Colin Farrell), the biggest country star in the world. I liked Colin Ferrell doing a Texas twang instead of his usual Irish Barogue. Robert Duvall also stars. I would rate it 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. The End.
