It's a tidy Hollywood arc imposed on a messy real life, but it gets the job done.

A Johnny Cash biopic equally packed with music and frustrated love, Walk the Line goes from compelling to enthralling.

Walk the Line isn't as great a biopic as Ray, but it's still a fine tribute to the Man in Black and his muse.

What made this film work, and what ultimately won it most of its acclaim, were the performances of the actors.

If Walk the Line isn't the full story of Johnny Cash, it's at least a crucial corner of it, a way of coaxing a legend down to a human scale, without shrinking that legend away to nothingness.

A fun, well acted, and well directed piece of filmmaking...

Phoenix is terrific in Walk the Line - - the actor's taciturn, brooding persona dovetails beautifully with the role - - but it's his scenes opposite Witherspoon that give the movie its real spark.

[Director] James Mangold's mostly excellent Walk the Line is designed as a Christian epic.
