This film is very well written by one of the finest writers in the business. The direction is clean, precise and still on the edge of what the story calls for, drama and action. The character development leaves nothing to complain about. Sullivan in the lead is fantastic. Under-rated. Under-rated. James Redford. Under-rated. Under-rated. Whether you are a rodeo buff or just a fan of great American cinema don't miss this tremendous original story. However this is my opinion, feel free to post your own. Make sure you actually watch the film. I've actually watched it twice and its one of those films that don't become boring. Check Keifers other work, its well worth the time.
I gave this a 6. I simply can't quite figure why people are gushing about the writing. Redford has only written 2 scripts, some TV, and something else. I felt the writing and script were the major detractors here. The cinematography was superb, but the film lacked inspired direction. This made for a tight, pro, looking film but otherwise constructed on air. It's a character study under the hood and the character we're studying is a silent, aloof type. Woops. This just screams pet-project of Sutherland's. I don't have a Pro account but I'd bet Sutherland spent his own money on this. Marcus Thomas was a brilliant casting move though and he really looked the part.
Lastly, bull-riding in general is a sore point amongst many pro-cowboys. It's a zero skill affair that has it's roots in exhibition. Pro cowboys seriously resent the intermission entertainment stealing the show. I noticed too that there were no pick-up men being depicted. Odd that. It's a PRCA regulation. Professional Bull Riders (PBR), on the other- hand, I don't think use them so there's that.

While I did like this movie I thought the ending was both graphic and gruesome. That part of the movie traumatized me along with the fact that, really, who wants to see Kiefer Sutherland getting it? Marcus Thomas was a bit forced in the role of Ely Braxton although I could have seen him being a cowboy if his acting had been a bit more relaxed. It was good to see Molly Ringwald in a role other than the movies that she is truly known for. Darryl Hannah was just okay for me in the role of Celia. I think I enjoyed Kiefer Sutherland and the idea behind the movie more than some of the actors in the movie. I would definitely watch this flick again if only for Kiefer.
OH come on...it wasn't THAT bad. I actually liked Keifer Sutherland in this role. He seemed more human and down to earth than anything I've seen him in lately. Not hyped up like he does when he plays a villian or in 24. Newcomer Marcus Thomas did a very good job. I was surprised to find out he was from Belgium!!
Ok.. so it was not an accurate movie, which ones are...TRAINING DAY??? DARK BLUE???? Good god...8 SECONDS???!!!!
And I LIKED Darryl Hannah in ths one. Even Molly Ringwald did the best she could. It definately needed more scenes like the one with Marcus Thomas and Pete Postlewaite. Ok, so Mr. Redford still has to work on writing skills, and character development, but this was still entertaining. No, its not JUNIOR BONNER but then that was a Sam Peckinpah film and ya can't get better then that!!

I was the Sound Effects editor on this film. In fact it was the first film that in my career that I was given the full responsibility to find or in this case create the sound effects for this film. I really enjoyed the process that I had to go through on this film and the unique way I had to use what I had to really make the bull riding come alive.
So in short I think this film is pretty good. I mean with all the junk out there I don't understand why this film has not made it to the theaters. Kiefer Sutherland and Marcus Thomas work very well together and Xavier Koller clearly knew how to direct them to get the best part of the story onto the screen without cluttering it up. Ring of Fire has all the elements to make for an enjoyable movie gong experience. It has been a long time since I have seen the film and I look forward to seeing it again.
