New Release Review - "Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere"

"That makes one of us."
That exchange between a star struck car salesman and Bruce Springsteen gets to the heart of writer/director Scott Cooper's music biopic Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere. Like most good biopics, Cooper's film narrows its focus to a specific chapter in its subject's life. In this case it's 1981 and Springsteen's writing and recording of 'Nebraska', considered by many as The Boss's greatest work.
