Not much to say about this movie. It's not great. But the MUSIC IS!!! Joe Seneca is good as the aging bluesman. Macchio does OK, but nothing very special. I agree with the previous reviewer when it comes to the silly and unbelievable love interest between the characters "Eugene" and "Frances". Jami Gretz's part should have been left on the cutting room floor for all of its need in a mediocre, at best, screenplay that really was dull.
But the MUSIC!!! Great Robert Johnson. Awesome Muddy Waters. The final showdown with Steve Vai as "Jack Butler" and Macchio's "Eugene" (Eugene's guitar work is done by Ry Cooder, a living legend of the blues) is fantastic guitar!!!
