Critics consensus

“What Cadillac Records may lack in originality, it more than makes up for in strong performances and soul-stirring music.”

The music is good, the suits are sharp, but it's the outstanding performances that wow. Walker is electrifying as Howlin' Wolf and Beyoncé - playing Etta James - has never been so sultry and sexy.

Perhaps there were insurmountable legal restrictions. But the movie still serves as a dandy primer for rediscovering a lot of great music.

Anyone who likes pop music or wonders how bands like the Rolling Stones got rolling will enjoy the ride.

It's got a good beat and you can dance to it. And on this week's Rate-A-Record card, I give [Cadillac Records] a 98.
