Movie portrays the life of talented, but down and out country singer, Bad Blake. He is on the road most of the time in his old, battered pick-up truck. Bad is in a downward spiral of almost non-stop alcohol abuse, playing bowling alleys and little bars. He once had a successful career, but after 4 broken marriages, heart-wrenching drunkeness, he's just about hit rock bottom. The heart of this movie is Jeff Bridges, his acting is outstanding. I believe he deserves to win and will win an Oscar for his performance. The country music singing in this movie is well done. Colin Farrell is also excellent as the young singer who Bad mentored, and who has gone on to super-stardom, but has not forgotten his friend. Enjoyed this movie!!
