I Saw The Light

#1 Post by ploggit » Tue May 10, 2016 12:39 pm

This so much wanted to be Walk The Line, but came up short. Probably needed more background on where Hank came from to help round out the story. Performances were fine, music that really didn't stay with me. Biopic-king by numbers, I'd struggle to recommend this to anyone.

McG, save your Limitless for next week when there are 3 or 4 things more worthy of your attention! Enjoy the sun instead!

I was disappointed in it too. Good performance by Tom Hiddleston but I found it quite dull and bland sadly.
