Cadillac Records.

This film is based on a true story in the 1950’s, and looks into the life stories of some of the musical greats such as Etta James and Chuck Berry to name a few.
My thoughts, a very slooooow start, the first 30-45 min’s could have been cut. As the film is generally quite long and there is so much more depth to the characters that was not illustrated. Beyonce played the role of Etta James petty well. Although I can’t help but think if there wasn’t any singing involved how significant would her role be? Is it just me or would you like to see Mrs Carter portray a different character to that of a singer hmmm. Mos Def played a very good Chuck Berry and Eamonn Walker was equally impressive as Howlin Wolf. Overall an average production and an interesting insight into life back in the 1950’s.
