Storyline

Hank (Kiefer Sutherland) and Ely Braxton (Marcus Thomas) are brothers and rivals. They're each haunted by the specter of their dad, Reid (Pete Postlethwaite), a famous bull rider turned absent father. Hank is a rodeo clown who breeds bulls; Ely is a brash young rider who won't let anything -- not even life-threatening injuries -- keep him out of the ring. When rodeo sweetheart Celia (Daryl Hannah) gets between them, sibling rivalry grows volatile and loyalties are tested.



Short Review

Not a fan of any of the actors, to begin with. I thought Sutherland just walked through his role. The writing was rather dull and lacked imagination. Someone always dies, right? Rather forced. Overall, the acting is mediocre, but not surprising since the script is so uninspired. Plus rodeo movies have been done to death, right? Pun intended. By the end, I was tired of trailer homes. The only redeeming quality is that someone's a Rick Derringer fan. Easily forgotten.
