Walk The Line

A solid and entertaining biopic, Walk the Line works less as a movie than an actors' showcase for its stars.

As he evolves from a farm boy to gospel croonin' plunker to the Man in Black, Phoenix disappears into Cash's deep baritone, his way of slinging the guitar onto his back, and his hunched-up style of strumming.
