Negative Positive
Title: A Cash project that is very much below standard....
Review: I can only second what Puddleglumm (great nick ;-) has already written here before. Even though I love most everything that Johnny Cash has ever done, especially in his later years, I think that this film is downright awful. The blond Ikea-commercial Jesus obviously is historically inaccurate and his amateurish and uninspired acting is so off that the fascination that the "historical Jesus" must have exerted does not come through at all. Why would anybody have wanted to follow this sluggish blond fellow? The film certainly does not give any clue. And I did and do wonder why Johnny Cash and June Carter apparently did not mind the poor quality of the acting?? I assume that I won't watch the movie again, but I still like the "comfortably creepy" soundtrack--I still have that one on vinyl. Sorry if this might sound slightly offensive, but as a longtime Cash aficionado (I don't really like the word fan), I think that it's my duty to be honest.
Is the review positive or negative?
