Liam D @Mediawatcher2003 Jul 24, 2024 As both writer and star Stephen Dorff (Space Truckers, Botched) is very passionate. Too bad it’s an generic drama See more Apr 5, 2017 This takes me back to my program director days when I used to listen to hundreds of records to decide what would be our AM country station's new direction. Wheeler's trek is the same path so many people have tried (or dreamed of trying), most ending in failure. The heart of country is the wet, cold Nashville sidewalks and back alleys where the sounds inside you become the theme we drive to as it pours out of your radio every day. It is a prize few people get to give, but one we all get the pleasure of receiving, when it is right, only for a moment in time. I would have liked to see more effort put in creating a satisfying ending, but Dorff's performance and the skillful songwriting make this a hopeful tale that people should see, if only to give them the chance to ponder what happens when you decide to live your most fanciful dream. See more Feb 17, 2017 Absolutely horrible. The story must have been written by a child, the music was depressing Muzak, and honestly, there was just no point to it at all. See more Feb 12, 2017 Stephen Dorff was an IT BOY in the late 80s, through the 90s, and then his types of roles started going to the newer, shinier versions. He truly inhabits this role convincingly, but the overall story is aw shucks saccharine. Add to that the album-load of songs that aren't that strong or catchy -- this film fails at establishing a musical theme and most of the songs are forgettable. See more Feb 4, 2017 5 out of 5 stars. Not what I expected. A cleverly written story narrated along the way. Wheeler leaves his home town in Texas to make his way in Nashville with a little help from friends along the way. Beautifully haunting voice. Ignore the low ratings and check it out for yourself, especially if you are a country music fan. See more Read all reviews
