[ATTENTION: This review reveals content of the movie.]
There is no question that the music in this movie is great, however, I found it to be a bit slow and it never really hooked me into any emotional ride. Whoever did the research for the film was out of whack. The 45 spindle didn't come out until 1959 and yet Leonard Chess's (Adrian Brody) character in the movie is erecting a disc in front of his studio with the spindle in 1952. Chuck Berry's entrance and debut song on the radio in 1955 in the film is No Particular Place to Go and Nadine, both of which came out in 1964. This film is not accurate in many parts and doesn't grab you into any particular story line but for those who dig Rock 'n' Roll music and rhythm and blues, then it's cool to listen to those tunes especially Beyonce who portrays Etta James and does not a bad job acting.

8.5... A definite must see for fans of the blues and early rock and roll... Adrien Brody , leading a solid cast with a standout performance by Beyonce... Some fine attention to period detail, cinematography and of course the music!

HEY,.. WHAT HAPPENED TO STORY OF HOW LENORD CHESS CAPTURED TO EARLY R&B Rhythmn & Blues "Doo-Wop" groups to contracts, after he saw the sales trend to its birth from "the blues"/gospel etc. in Chicago. Looks like you missed documented groups as The Dells, Moonglows, Harptones, and many, many more recordings @ Chess in the late 40's throughout the 50"'s etc!!!

Cadillac Records is better than the grouping of Biopics lately.
