Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far On Foot Blu-ray (Rental)

In the early '70s, hard-drinking, already-embittered Portlander John Callahan (Joaquin Phoenix) was only 21 when a booze-fueled car accident left him a quadriplegic. His chosen path to recover from the bottle and reclaim his life-as a cartoonist whose wildly dark and incorrect gags gained him national notoriety-is tellingly recounted in Gus Van Sant's compelling, seriocomic biopic; Jonah Hill, Rooney Mara, Jack Black, Carrie Brownstein, Beth Ditto, Udo Kier also star. 113 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
