Country singer Maury Dann lives life in the fast lane, counting on his rakish charm and raw talent to excuse his reckless behavior. Touring on the road in the rural south with his dedicated manager, his loyal driver and his long-suffering girlfriend, Maury seduces groupies, brawls and breaks the law, brashly relying on his team to cover for him. Heedlessly alienating all those who care for him, Maury blindly keeps the pedal to the metal.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a ruthless portrait of self-destruction, relying on vérité camerawork and the relentless rhythm of the road. It explores the dark underbelly of the American dream, where talent is a ticket to damnation.

What lingers after the final frame is not tour glamour, but a sobering, visceral punch to the gut that leaves a residue of bitter emptiness. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Daryl Duke

Watch late at night, alone, when you're ready for an unvarnished, hard look at fame's dark side.
