Crossroad is unfortunately for Ralph Machio another karate kid but instead of doing the swan kick he does kick his guitar. The movie is based on a myth around the late Robert Johnson who was a pioneer guitar hero. He sold his soul to the devil to play guitar like hell. Eric Clapton covered the song crossroad and anybody who has listen to it don't need to see the movie to know the story. But they'll miss the great playing of Steve Vai (who is surprising in the role of the Satan protégé) and Ry Cooder (Ralph Machio guitar stunt) who in the final battle burn all hell loose and give the greatest guitar playing ever put in a movie cause this is what this movie his all about. Special mention to the mentor and the devil who are brilliantly played.
