Director Taylor Hackford paints a vivid portrait of Ray Charles' life and combined with Jamie Foxx' phenomenal acting, you have one unforgettable performance and film for that matter. Jamie Foxx definitely delivered as Ray Charles, and of all his roles, this is his best role to date. This is a solid film with an engaging dramatic story that recounts the fame and turmoil of one of the greatest musicians that ever lived. Foxx's performance is just as solid as Joaquin Phoenix's performance of Johnny Cash in Walk the Line and Forrest Whitaker's performance of Charlie Parker in Bird. Ray is one of the best biopics that I've seen in recent memory. Ray is a superb film that has a near flawless plot, and great directing. This is a well crafted biopic and there are some very strong performances alongside that of Jamie Foxx. Jamie Foxx gives the performance of his career in the lead role of Ray Charles. Taylor Hackford has crafted one of the best biopics of a musician since Clint Eastwood's Bird.
