When a "Oscar" film gets bumped into the dead time, you just know it will fail. Well, The Soloist doesn't totally fail for what it sets out to do but I just couldn't bring myself to care.
Just another based on a true story film. It follows the story of a journalist who finds a gifted musician who now lives on the streets. He also suffers from schizophrenic and how he and those around him deal with it.
I find Downey to be a complete ass whenever I see him. While this isn't exactly like that, I still see that in the film (for whatever reason). The cast does a fine job but none of them deliver anything memorable.
I wouldn't go out of my way to see this but you could do worse I guess.
Movie 2.5 /5
