About this movie

Eugene Martone (Ralph Macchio, "The Karate Kid" & "The Karate Kid Part II") struggles with the devil and his destiny when he goes down to the CROSSROADS in this contemporary drama. With a potent blend of adventure, romance, and music, the film takes gifted young guitarist Martone into a dangerous and challenging new world. Obsessed with unlocking the mysteries of the blues, the fledging musician finds cantankerous Willie Brown (Joe Senaca), a master of the blues harmonica, and frees him from prison. The unlikely duo hoboes from New York to Mississippi as Martone searches for runaway Frances (Jami Gertz, "Quicksilver"). With a rich mixture of Delta blues and driving rock produced by Ry Cooder, the film takes Martone and Brown on an intense odyssey that leads them to a dramatic climax at the CROSSROADS.

Ratings and reviews

Crossroads, havent we all made a deal there? Sell this get that and try to squeeze out.... yes sah and pay up when that slow black sedan rolls up .... pay time mova fletcher. I play because of this movie and Gretchen Palmer wow, perfect devils friend, ' something in the way she moves' great job lovely sista!

Great storyline though not completely accurate but does loosely tell the history that dictates the emotion behind Delta Blues music and its origin.

One of my favorite moves. If you like music, like or love the blues, great acting, and story line you won't go wrong watching this one.
