A scattershot ensemble piece that exceeds its reach in its retelling of the origins of Chicago's Chess label.

Anyone who likes pop music or wonders how bands like the Rolling Stones got rolling will enjoy the ride.

It turns out to be grittier and more lowdown than that Ray Charles bio.

Cadillac Records is not a terrible movie but in the chain of rags to riches films (Dreamgirls, Ray, Walk the Line, etc.) it definitely falls at the bottom of the heap.

Perhaps there were insurmountable legal restrictions. But the movie still serves as a dandy primer for rediscovering a lot of great music.

There is not one authentic moment of human discourse in the whole movie.

The music, largely performed by the actors, is highly enjoyable.

In story terms, its cavalcade of melodrama and conflict isn't always persuasive, but writer-director Darnell Martin's respect for the music shines through.

The music is good, the suits are sharp, but it's the outstanding performances that wow. Walker is electrifying as Howlin' Wolf and Beyoncé - playing Etta James - has never been so sultry and sexy.

The film suffers at times from biopic-itis -- the narrative unfolds with the requisite heartbreak carefully apportioned -- but it's always eye-catching.
