A solid and entertaining biopic, Walk the Line works less as a movie than an actors’ showcase for its stars. Joaquin Phoenix’s total immersion into the skin of singer Johnny Cash is startling–watching it, you can’t believe this is the same guy who whined about being “vexed” in Gladiator. 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. But it’s more than just picking up mannerisms: Phoenix also sings as Johnny Cash, and it’s quite impressive.
The story of how Johnny Cash became Johnny Cash traces from his childhood under a distant father (Robert Patrick) to his early attempts at a music career, during which he married his girlfriend Vivian (Ginnifer Goodwin). During a tour with the likes of Elvis (Tyler Hilton) and Jerry Lee Lewis (Waylon Malloy Payne), he encounters singer June Carter (Reese Witherspoon), and his love for her–and her rejection of him through the years–spurs him into drugs, drinking, and depression. As with most movies based on real-life singers, as his popularity grows, the women come a-flockin’, and the childhood demons surface. Witherspoon, who matches Phoenix drawl for drawl, plays June both as a sassy spitfire whose charm breaks your heart, and as a sympathetic friend who tries to help Cash get over–well, her. The love story is what endures, but the movie comes most alive during its musical numbers, and even if you’re not a country fan, it may just get you to run out and buy a Johnny Cash album.–Ellen A.

The Bottom Line:
A thoroughly pedestrian biopic that retailors the real story so much that it should probably be called “Johnny Cash as Written by John and June” (case in point: the song Walk the Line was written for John’s first wife, not June) Walk the Line fails on almost every level aside from its performances.

- great acting with energy–a fine biopic
Walk The Line is one of the best biopics I’ve ever seen. We get outstanding performances from Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash and Reese Witherspoon as June Carter. Look also for a strong showing by Ginnifer Goodwin as Johnny Cash’s first wife, Vivian. Waylon Payne also acts well as Jerry Lee Lewis. The plot moves along nicely even though there is little time spent on Johnny’s childhood and his stint in the military; and the cinematography is well done.
When the film begins, we get a … Read More

- I KNEW BETTER…
It’s sad to watch memories of the real deal fade in to a middle-finger t-shirt, Walk the Line dvd, “I love Cocaine Blues”, punk/rockabilly anti-hero oblivion in these ‘modern’ times. If anyone ever reads this and doesn’t understand that statement or becomes offended by it… well??? There is memory a friend of mine shared with me of Johnny and June playing back in either the late 80’s or early 90’s. They both stayed(unexpectedly) over 2 1/2 hrs after their show ended to meet and listen to each … Read More
Rating: - great DVD
Enjoyed the movie the first time I bought it, and the extras make it even better.
Rating: 
- Hollywood version of Cash
I’ve been listening to country music since I was a little girl and the visual portrait I have of Cash is a solemn one. He wore black as a somber statement of the state of the world. Sure, he could joke and cut up, but the picture I have of him is not goofy redneck. Phoenix’s performance has been hailed as genius, but I wasn’t impressed. After all, it was basically a reprisal of his character in “U-Turn” in which “Ring of Fire” plays each time he appears. This is, of course, a crowd-pleaser and I know … Read More
