THE BEST OF 2009 - By Jeff

After a long wait which I am sure you were all on the edge of your seats. It is time for my end of the year best of movies list for 2009 so without further ado

THE SOLOIST (2009

Directed By: Joe Wright
Written By: Susannah Grant
Based On The Book By: Steve Lopez
Cinematography By: Seamus McGarvey
Editor: Paul Tothill

Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Jamie Foxx, Catherine Keener, Stephen Root, Lisa Gay Hamilton, Rachael Harris, Tom Hollander


The film is perfectly fine entertainment of a film that really doesn’t have a plot. Sure it’s a fascinating fact based story that may have been better explored as a documentary or maybe even better reading about it but the film leaves a lot to be desired as not much really happens except that it makes the main character feel better by discovering and trying to help a talented homeless schizophrenic . Which is pretty much the plot of the film.
