The Neon Highway (8/10)

by Tony Medley

112 minutes.

PG-13

When Singer/songwriter Wayne Collins (Rob Mayes) and his brother Lloyd (TJ Power) appear to perform at a local spot, they are well-received and Wayne receives a troubling offer from a producer. On their way home they have a bad accident, ending their quest for fame and stardom. Seven years later Wayne, now a cable installer, meets country music star Claude Allen (Beau Bridges) who has fallen on bad times but who offers to help Wayne get his old record produced.

Directed by William Wages, who gets a writing credit with Phillup Bellury, what follows is an involving tale of hope and deceit highlighted by fine performances by Bridges and Mayes along with a realistic look at the inside of the music business where it seems as if everybody is out to get everybody else and nobody is to be trusted.
