If you like blues, then you'll most likely like this one, too. Awesome music and the guitar duel at the end is just epic.

Reminds me of when I sold my soul to the devil. Unfortunately all I got was a carton of Marlboros and a subscription to Entertainment Weekly. Not much of a story now that I think about it. Never mind. BTW, Steve Vai's the highlight here, duh!

Ralph Macchio's starring role constantly reminds us that this is basically Karate Kid Part II with the blues and Mississippi replacing karate and Japan. Hill's direction communicates his palpable love of music and Cooder's score is amazing as always. Still, Hill fails to tantalize the viewer into wondering what will happen next or engross the viewer long enough to forget how silly and flimsy the entire story really is. Within a week I'll forget all of it... except the admittedly awesome climax.

Memorable cheesy ending, with Ralph Macchio guitar-duelling this time instead of karate-fighting. Crap except for the campy climax.

Ralph Macchio actually shows a little acting talent in this film where he plays a Northern wannabe blues aficionado that finds himself immersed in a world he used to THINK he understood. Great soundtrack.

The guitar duel with Satan (aka Steve Vai) is the best part, otherwise it's the Karate Kid moping around trying to look cool with his tiny little amplifier.

For a Walter Hill film this is really blah. I never want to spend this much time with Ralph Macchio. Ever.

If you like the blues you'll love this film. Some fantastic tunes in this, wrapped around a hell of a film. The guitar battle at the end has to be to heard to be believed (plus it's the Karate Kid vs the Wyld Stalyons, top that!)
