There's a moment in the second act, when Joe Morton appears in a dream and slowly walks through a set of doors, his body initally dwarfed but then consuming the entire screen, which is nightmarish in a Lynchian way. The set-up of the scene is ac... read more

" Eugene is an extraordinary talent in classic guitar, but he dreams of being a famous Blues guitarist. So he investigates to find a storied lost song. He asks the legendary Blues musician Willie Brown to help him, but Willie demands to free him from the old-people's prison first and to really learn the blues on the way to it's origin: Mississippi Delta. Eugene doesn't know yet about Willie's deal with the devil, that he now wants to revoke. The film featured earlier performances by Joe Morto"

"One of the few movies Ralph Macchio did outside of the Karate Kid franchise, here he's playing a Blues musician which is a nice change up. Eager to see this since it was also directed by the mighty Walter Hill."
" Directed by: Walter Hill Produced by: Mark Carliner, Tim Zimmerman, and Mae Woods Written by: Walter Hill Cinematography: John Bailey Edited by: Freedom A. Davies Music by: Ry Cooper Distributed by: Columbia Pictures"
"Typerä typerä elokuva, jossa Karate kidin ja kumppaneiden Bluesin etsintä typistyy huonosti käyttäytymiseksi. Bluesin mythokseen sisältyy jotain aidosti elämää suurempaa, olkoot sitten perkeleen kanssa tehtyjä tienristeyskontrahteja tai päähän potkitun kansanosan luuydinmehua. Elokuvallisen yhdentekevyyden ja suuren Bluesin idean väärinkäytön yhdistelmä oli tehdä tästä yhden tähden elokuvan. Loppu, jossa vedetään kitarabattle panoksena sielu ja vastassa Steve Vain esittä"
" Crossroads is kinda like the movie version of the song The Devil Went Down To Georgia, except, instead of some kid named "Johnny", it's the kid from The Karate Kid. And instead of a duel of fiddle playin', it's a duel of hard guitar jamming. And instead of a golden fiddle, it's Steve Vai. But the devil is still the devil. And challenging the Prince Of Lies to any kind of musical stand-off always requires playing your instrument with enough "soul" to keep your soul. "
