The Soloist 2009 (Jamie Fox New Movie Now Playing)
Starring: Jamie Foxx, Robert Downey Jr., Meggan Anderson, Halbert Bernal, Matt Besser, Troy Blendell, Ingrid Coree
The movie is about a news reporter who befriends a homeless man that is a trained musician from Julliard that hopes one day he will play at Walt Disney Concert Hall. The reporter tries to help the homeless man by getting him back on his feet and attempting to make his dreams come true.
This movie is based on a true story and it is a very uplifting and a heartfelt one. Jamie Fox plays the mentally challenged violinist and does an outstanding job. Robert Downey is the news reporter who tries and help him and gives a fine performance. Good story, poignant and with moments of inventiveness. Well worth a watch. I give it a rating of a 7.
I seen the movie myself last week and we all 3 just loved it. I think Jamie Foxx, did an excellent job. I am very close with someone who has his sickness and he did a good job with showing what someone like this lives through. I’d say, it’s another great role by Jamie Foxx for sure!
As for Robert Downey Jr. he did an awesome job, I was very surprise to see him do as well as he did. I really got into the story because they were both so believable, and they worked very well together. Enough so that I had real tears by the end of the movie.
