The Soloist (2009)
I've been waiting since November to see this movie and I wasn't disappointed. I really couldn't care less about Jamie Foxx, but he wasn't the star of the movie. The plot may follow the story of Nathaniel Ayers, but Robert Downey, Jr. as Steve Lopez completely steals the spotlight. He has this way of delivering witty lines so straight and conversational that if you aren't paying close attention, you'll miss them. I saw it first in Iron Man, but it's also present here. His delivery of these makes his performance all the more enjoyable. This is not a happy or uplifting movie in any way, but it's good.
My Netflix rating: 4 stars
