Crazy Heart looks good, pure Jeff Bridges at his best. 

Crazy Heart is written and directed by Scott Cooper as his directorial debut. The movie stars Jeff Bridges, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Robert Duvall.

Four-time Academy Award nominee Jeff Bridges stars as the richly comic, semi-tragic romantic anti-hero Bad Blake. He is a broken-down, hard-living country music singer who’s had way too many marriages, far too many years on the road and one too many drinks way too many times.

And yet, Bad can’t help but reach for salvation with the help of Jean (Golden Globe nominee Maggie Gyllenhaal), a journalist who discovers the real man behind the musician.  As he struggles down the road of redemption, Bad learns the hard way just how tough life can be on one man’s crazy heart.
