| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Second Rate Country Singer-First Rate Heel |
| "Maury Dann, the second-rate country singer and first-rate heel played by Rip Torn." Ken Tucker
Payday is a film that left me feeling forlorn, a feeling of emptiness and what's next. Rip Torn played his character, Maury Dann, true to form. A country singer on his way down from never near the top. He cheats, wheedles, lies and moves on so easily without remorse, using whomever he needs to, I wonder what is the purpose of his life. It seems he has little regard for those who travel with him or might love him. His purpose is to make money to pay for the booze, women and song that make up his life. The surrounding players had little or no effect on me, but, of course, they made the film a whole. I can see in my mind's eye that this course of life goes on daily with hundreds of people moving through the country or rock scene. How sad a life, how very very sad. "As a portrait of the music industry of that era -- Maury bribes DJs to play records and makes sure to get paid in cash after yowling tunes in tattered roadhouses -- the low-budget Payday is far superior to Robert Altman's overrated, condescending 1975 drama Nashville. Payday both loves its subject and never lets its antihero off the hook." Ken Tucker Recommended. Best advice, view this film on a bright sunny day. prisrob 02-14-08 [[ASIN:6303222560 Where the Rivers Flow North]] [[ASIN:B00004XMST Heartland]] |
