The Soloist, 2008, Drama
Plot: Based on a true story, the film follows a LA Times reporter who writes a story about a mentally disturbed Cellist who is homeless and ends up being more involved in his life than he thought.
Thoughts: This movie was about as average as average can get. I thought the writing was decent but the acting seemed a little forced. Robert Downey Jr., however, didn’t need to do much acting since his entire character was pretty 2-dimensional. Jamie Foxx played Ray Charles again, except this time he had to be crazy instead of a dope addict.
The story was heartwarming but not much more than a 2 hour mind number.
2.2/5
