so this self indulgent film about absolutely nothing of any import have just waste two hour of my life . set in the deep south of 1950 america the plot be as transparent a it always be in a film be nothing be always about to happen . the plot be actually so thin you will have guess the end and how we arrive there quickly . in my case in around 90 second of the opening title . guess what a middle aged black club owner and with relationship crisis and broke and have to keep his wooden shack or club open . oh the unbearable excitement of wonder whether he will succeed or not . along the way we be treat to an array of cardboard cutout character that include the local racist and white sheriff and [ so original ] the habitual enigmatic oh no could it be a ghost to be lay character and who in this case be a sort of blind alan a dale and a young itinerant and rock n roll and electric guitar play musician who blow into town . it get bad . the dialog be at best a series of cheap and stilted diatribe feed through the mouth of comic book and deep south and 1950 black or white stereotype . i must presume the script be write by an intellectual midget with a range of english and clichés rarely see outside of batman comic . then we have the music . a poorly perform mishmash of blue go into rock n roll and a genre not even favour in it own time . long dead it should have be leave that way and certainly not resurrect with stiff and stilted and zombie like musical performance . lastly we have the director and one john sayles famed for be involve with such mega blockbuster a bruce springstein the complete video anthology and that other great masterpiece and passion fish . that say it all really let be honest if you have 3 brain cell or more and have enough understanding of english to know that batman should actually be two word not one and have an intellect equal to or good than a nematode and and a musical taste beyond think my my ding a ling be a good rock song and well then you would have a more stimulating experience watch thomas the tank engine .
