Review: Crazy Heart

On the face of it, not much actually happens in Crazy Heart, former country star drinks a bit too much, a couple of bad things happen and well...that's about it really.

However the story isn't what makes Crazy Heart worth watching, it's the masterful performances from Jeff Bridges as 'Bad' Blake in the lead who completwely inhabits the role and the excellent support he gets from Maggie Gyllenhaal, Colin Farrell, and Robert Duvall who all give suitably world-weary performances, subtle enough to give Bridges the space to shine.
