Review: The Soloist

The Soloist
Mental illness? Homelessness? A man battling all odds to express his extraordinary gift? Based on a true story? Yes, it's 'Oscar Winning by Numbers' and it comes from a bunch of people who are already familiar with the golden baldie, so it's kind of a shoo-in for the Academy Awards.

Kind of ironic that it's desperation to get one of those little gold statues is it's main criticism and what will likely have played a part in it not getting a chance, even though it might actually be worthy of a look. I've not forgiven Jamie Foxx for Stealth yet but he looks pretty good in this and RDJ is always solid.

Best break out the cliche bingo cards for this one I think.

The trailers make we want to be physically sick.

Yep, seems pretty on the nose. This movie screams 'Nominate me, nominate me!'

Love Downey, have a lot of time for Jamie Foxx (after this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_L-gbpKZpo) but this stinks of Oscar desperation.
