I never heard of the director before, or Ry Cooder, either, so I can't trash them. I just know I was fascinated and enthralled by this movie, and I am SO glad they made it. It is musical history that was almost gone, almost lost to us forever. But now we have this wonderful documentary, and the music is preserved, along with the stories and the background that go with it. And it is fantastic music -- beautiful, soulful music. I offer my thanks to those who had the imagination and the foresight and the dedication to make it.

The plot of this movie sounded fairly interesting so I tried it. All I can say is, 'don't waste your time.' The plot was poorly explained. The cinematography was amateurish. The acting was bad.

We have become used to seeing so much better that it is jarring to see a movie done this badly. This movie was truly awful.

This was a dumb movie. That the plot springs from a CB radio should have been a tip-off. Do you know anybody who uses a CB radio these days? You probably won't know anybody as dumb as the guys in this movie, either, because if you ever came across anybody like them, you would have run. They do dumb things, and then dumber things. You're just saying, "Oh, no," all the way through it.

The movie IS suspenseful so if that is what you are after, it won't disappoint there. Just don't ask too many questions like, "How did she get here, or how would he have known that." Suspend logic.
