Deserves WAY more than 5 stars........ How far Jamie Foxx has come. From a pretty much unknown comic on In Living Colour, to an Academy Award winning actor who now is in the upper-echelon of the "best actors in Hollywood" category after his outstanding performance in this flick. Many times throughout this movie, I totally forgot that I was watching Jamie Foxx himself instead of the actual Ray Charles. I had to literally remind myself of this many times, the movie was just that good. This movie was eye-opening in many ways to me. I had no clue that Ray Charles had a drug problem early in his career, which, when I was watching the parts where Jamie was putting the drugs into his body, were some of the saddest parts of the movie. Also, not to forget the excellent performances by Regina King (playing one of Ray's many mistresses thru the movie), and Kerry Washington (playing Ray's wife). I rented this movie, but I might just make it apart of my very small movie collection. Pick it up now...
